Using an rsync (V2.5.6, Tru64 Unix 5.1A) command of the form:
rsync -avz --delete /some/dir remhost:/some/other/dir
where /some/dir has about 460,000 files in it, I get:
building file list ... done
ERROR: out of memory in make_file
rsync error: error allocating core memory buffers (code 22) at /usr/common/src/rsync-2.5.6/util.c(115)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (8 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at /usr/common/src/rsync-2.5.6/io.c(165)
However, rsync has only increased in resident size to about 72 MB at this
point, while I have limits of:
cputime unlimited
filesize unlimited
datasize 8192MB
stacksize 1024MB
coredumpsize unlimited
resident 16033MB
descriptors 4096
addressspace 8192MB
Any comments? I have not seen anything in the archives that addresses
this. Thanks,
