Having a read() return Cannot allocate memory makes it seem like something is very wrong in the OS -- that's not a typical error that read() should return. ..wayne.. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.

read errors mapping filename: Cannot allocate memory (12)
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.
