File name too long

[Luc Santeramo]

Hi,

I've got a File name too long problem using rsync-2.5.6 or rsync 2.5.5-0.1 
(debian)

I had a look to the mailing list archive and to the todo file and all I've 
seen was that the problem only appears on old special systems.
I'm using debian 2.2.20. (is it too old?)

I've already posted this bug in debian bug tracking system 
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=183667)
but maybe I have to do it here as well...


Package: rsync
Version: 2.5.5-0.1
Severity: important

I'm using rsync to copy from /dev/hda to /dev/hdb

I use options below :
--verbose --recursive --links --hard-links --perms --owner --group 
--devices --times --no-whole-file --delete --one-file-system

and here is what rsync log says just before stopping:
