Trying to rsync a rather large file from a windows server to a centos server and all but this is working fine.
As it's a 20 gig file I am trying to send the diff of with a -c, I suspect over the low bandwidth this presents an issue. I also stage this file locally on another centos server and could calc the diff and create a patch and send that, comparing checksums etc...
A quick look at bsdiff and bspatch and the mem requirements on my 20 gig file make that solution rather not acceptable.
Anyone know a better solution to accomplish this?
Thanks! jlc
I don't understand why the diff shenanigans. Rsync has that built-in, so you shouldn't need to be doing that as a separate step.
If it is a file size limit, you could try to split(1) the file, then rsync the chunks. You might also try cygwin 1.7, which has improved the support for modern Windows OS dramatically.
