Hi all,

we are synching database backup files from one machine to another.
These backup files reached a size of 2-3 GByte in teh meanwhile. rsync
is refusing to sync files this large.

        rsync -avz -e ssh /opt/FrontBase/Backups/HolzPool.fb
someuser@othermachine:/somedirectory

send_files failed to open
/opt/FrontBase/Backups/HolzPool.fb/B_2004_06_09-00_00_01: Value too
large for defined data type
send_files failed to open
/opt/FrontBase/Backups/HolzPool.fb/B_2004_06_10-00_00_00: Value too
large for defined data type
send_files failed to open
/opt/FrontBase/Backups/HolzPool.fb/B_2004_06_11-00_00_01: Value too

send_files failed to open

send_files failed to open
/opt/FrontBase/Backups/HolzPool.fb/B_2004_06_13-00_00_01: Value too

send_files failed to open
/opt/FrontBase/Backups/HolzPool.fb/B_2004_06_14-00_00_00: Value too
large for defined data type

I can't believe that rsync is not able to handle 2 GByte files. What
can we do to make this working again?

Thanks!
