Rsnapshot and large files (> 2GB)

I'm running Rsnaphot on my NV+ pulling a backup from my NVX. Works great on most files, but I have some vary large video files that are greater than 2 GB. I get this error:

rsnapshot encountered an error! The program was invoked with these options:
/usr/local/bin/rsnapshot hourly
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: Warning! Could not lstat source node ("/c/Snapshots/.sync/localhost/ScottNAS_1/media/c/media/Pictures/Team Boulder/2009-12-06/12-06-2009 Tournament.mpg") : Value too large for defined data type

How can I correct this and still have Rsnapshot account for these file in my backup?

Thanks.

  • Not sure it is possible, I think the ext3 filesystem the nv+ uses max file size is 2tb.

    edit: erm, never mind I mis-read your post. I don't know why your getting the error unless your snapshot space is insufficient.
