I use rsync to copy files from various Windows servers to a backup server running linux (OpenSUSE 11.2, filesystem ext3). The files that are to be copied reside in CIFS shares which are mounted on the backup server.
This is the command I run: rsync -rltv --out-format=./%n%L --delete --exclude-from=excludes.txt --link-dest=/backup/local/20100110/server1/backup$ '/backup/server1/backup$/' '/backup/local/20100111/server1/backup$' When copying a rather large file (34 GB) I get the following error: rsync: read errors mapping "<filename>": Cannot allocate memory (12) WARNING: <filename> failed verification -- update discarded (will try again). rsync: read errors mapping "<filename>": Cannot allocate memory (12) ERROR: <filename> failed verification -- update discarded. It is the only file I have problems with. I upgraded from rsync 2.6.4 to 3.0.6 and increased the memory on the machine from 1 GB to 1.5 GB, but the problem remains. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
