This makes rsync useless for large filesets. But why would a machine with 256M of RAM all of a sudden have problems with running out of memory during an rsync. It worked before I CVSup'd to the latest -STABLE kernel. I moved the home directories and mail three days ago (not latest -stable), at the same time, without difficulty. I guess I may have to find a way to move the files across that isn't so memory intensive. First i'll see if I can re-create the out of memory error with a different util... maybe slam it with web requests.
