I got errors like this once while moving a lot of data to a new system. Rsync hogs memory and it can't deal with large directories, although I think it has more to do with the number of files than the data size. I worked around this by using a 'for i in ls -1 /home; do rsync -av /home/$i /newplace; done' or some such to do one subdir at a time. -- Michael Potter [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ HCoop-SysAdmin mailing list [email protected] http://hcoop.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hcoop-sysadmin
