Re: [tbox-l] rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 32768 bytes: phase "unknown"

[Philip K W. <pk...@us...>]

A new version of rsync (2.5.4-3) is now available, which fixes this 
problem with writing to large files. The configure script for rsync 
correctly detects support for mkstemp on AIX 5.1, however the large-file 
enabled mkstemp64 was not added to libc.a until a later release of AIX 
5.1/5.2. I have compiled the rsync RPM so it uses mktemp instead of 
mkstemp, which fixes this problem and allows rsync to correctly copy files 
greater than 2gb in size.

Please let me know if you have any problems with this new RPM. Thanks 
Michael for reporting the problem.
