           Summary: rsync chokes on large files
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.6
          Platform: PPC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: david-bo at dsv.su.se
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


I try to rsync a 25-50 GB AES128 encrypted disk image called 'test' between two
Mac OS X-machines. This is with rsync 2.6.6 (is there a 2.6.7? The front page
just says 2.6.6)


% rsync -av --progress --stats --rsh=ssh /test 2nd-machine:/test

The receiving machine has space left (2+ GB). Before I upgraded to 2.6.6 I had
2.6.2 on the sending machine and 2.6.3 on the receiving machine. With that
combination I got another error message:

% rsync -av --progress --stats --rsh=ssh test 2nd-machine:/test
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11
forwarding.
tcsh: TERM: Undefined variable.

The files _should_ be identical, I first transfered them with sftp without
problems but they will change in the future and then I want to use rsync to
keep them identical. This was just a test to verify my plan - a test that
didn't seem to workout that well.

I don't know if this matter but here are some more information about my setup:

Powerbook G3 with 10.3.9
Powerbook G4 with 10.4.3

Wireless 802.11G-network between router and G4, wired network between G3 and
router. The router is a Linksys WRT54GS.

Both the older versions and the most recent versions works very well when I
work with smaller filer (for example, I synchronized 40 GB with mp3:a without
problems)
