Summary: rsyncing >2GB file onto fat32 partition should fail earlier Product: rsync Version: 3.1.0 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 Component: core AssignedTo: way...@samba.org ReportedBy: darko.vebe...@ijs.si QAContact: rsync...@samba.org i have noticed that while rsyncing (-av) a whole directory (from linux ext4) onto a fat32 filesystem on a usb disk there was a large >4GB file among the files to be copied. while rsync should fail immediately encountering such a job what really happened was strange: rsync continued to read all the other files in the job but nothing has been written to the usb disk anymore. i have noticed this since the i/o on my internal disk went to the max of 120 MB/s and the i/o on the usb disk stayed at 0. at that point i pressed ctrl-c and, remarkably late, got the corresponding error: rsync error: received SIGINT, SIGTERM, or SIGHUP (code 20) at rsync.c(632) [sender=3.1.0] rsync: write failed on "/media/luser/usbdisk/folder/dvd.iso": File too large (27) rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at receiver.c(389) [receiver=3.1.0] how to reproduce: format a usb disk with mkfs.vfat and try to rsync a directory containing some files plus a large file over the >2GB fat32 limit. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
