rsync: fork failed in do_recv: Cannot allocate memory (12)
This error is happening on the receiving side, and you seem to have only
mentioned the OS and memory for the sending system (I assume -- you
didn't explicitly say). Is the receiving system also running cygwin?
What is its version rsync?
..wayne..
Ahhh The receiving side is a fresh install of Debian, kernel 2.6.8-2
with a whopping 256MB of Ram.
I have 2Mb 'free', no swap (What the heck did I do there? Watch my
confidence start droping drastically :P ) and 5 rsync processes
eating about 35Mb each..
The receiving system is running rsync 2.6.4 protocol v29.
Ok, so I'll throw another 256Mb in there asap - I still don't know why
just changing the sending side's version of rsync would cause the
receiving side to run out of memory..
Adding more memory to the receiving side seems to have solved that
issue. Now if I could only go back a day and find my own thread in the
archives.. no wait, that wouldn't work.. damnit
Thanks :)
Rick
