rsync buffer issue
 

Hi,
I am trying to trransfer a directory with lots of files. Rsync come up with out of buffer error after 2 hours. Is teher any way to avoid the memory buffer issue on rsync? Can you force rsync to dump the files after 1 hour or after set number of MBs?

Thanks
Kapil

Hi Kapil,
I never got that memory buffer error myself. What do you mean with "dump the files"? Maybe you want option --partial?

I mean rsync is getting out of swap space as it collects the name of the files before starting the file move/sync. is there any way to start and empty the list os files from the buffer to the destination directory so the next batch of transfer can carry on.

You can call it in a bash loop and pass it some kind of wildcard that indicates a sub-list of all the files you want txfrd; eg by name or date.
