HP-UX 11i and largefiles on rsync 2.6.2

[Don Malloy]

Thanks for the suggestion Steve.

Here is the output with -vvv in the local rsync:

------------------
server2 #  /usr/local/bin/rsync -avvv --progress --stats file1.db 
/var/opt/ignite/test

------------------

Just reading another post on the list, an rsync --version shows:

rsync  version 2.6.2  protocol version 28
Copyright (C) 1996-2004 by Andrew Tridgell and others
<http://rsync.samba.org/>
Capabilities: 64-bit files, socketpairs, hard links, symlinks, batchfiles,
              no IPv6, 32-bit system inums, 64-bit internal inums

Is it supposed to show 32-bit system inums? Will this require a re-compile 
and how do I force that parameter to 64-bit?

Thanks again,
Don
