Carl, I am sorry to harp on about this, but, it gets back to my analysis of rsync under backuppc a few months ago - I still think that we need to do an implementation of File::RsyncP in C as opposed to perl. I have done some memory requirement analysis of a raw rsync backup of a large filesys

2005-09-01 Thread David Relson
Hi, I'm running a machine with 512MB ram and 1GB swap and BackupPC is triggering Linux's OOM (the out of memory killer) and that's making it impossible to backup my main machine. At the moment VSZ for the 2 _dump processes are at 527m and 425m and rsync is at 256m (see below). How can I reduce
