[OpenIndiana-discuss] rsync problems: out of memory

[Frank Van Damme]

I have a problem when rsyncing a directory with a *lot* of files in it
to an openindiana system (it's an 151-dev installation). It failed when
I issued the command on the sender side (linux box), this is the error
when you try the command on the receiver side:

ERROR: out of memory in flist_expand [receiver]
ERROR: out of memory in flist_expand [generator]
rsync error: error allocating core memory buffers (code 22) at
util.c(117) [receiver=3.0.6]
rsync error: error allocating core memory buffers (code 22) at
util.c(117) [generator=3.0.6]

The machine has 2 GB of memory, plus swap... it stops after just over an
hour.
