Rsync "file too large (27)"

[DALJIT TAMANA, BLOOMBERG/ LONDON]

Hi,

I'm getting the following error occasional and can't find out why;

05/14/2011 09:28:51 rsyncing /dbtmp to /dbtmp.new (1st pass) ....
rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes [sender]: Broken pipe (32)
rsync: write failed on "/dbtmp.new/file.dmp": File too large (27)
rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at receiver.c(258) [receiver=2.6.9]
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (178 bytes received so far) [generator]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(453)
[generator=2.6.9]
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (48 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(453)
[sender=2.6.9]

I came across a bug report for a similar problem on AIX ( I'm on solaris 10 ) but there doesn't seem to be a resolution. Are there any workarounds etc.
Bug report: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6183

Thanks.

This message is from your operating system (EFBIG); you've probably
hit the limits of what your file system can handle, as set by
setrlimit (check RLIMIT_FSIZE). Alternatively, I can imagine syncing
to a different filesystem and then remounting it or something...

When I got this error, I was still able to manually copy the
file. When rsync was re-run, it was fine ( nothing to copy ).
This particular file was 29gb in size at the time.
