rsync-2.6.2 of a large disc using 2.6.8-rc2 (I also tried 2.6.7-bk14)
stops with "kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process xxxx" messages
during filelist gathering.

When this happens only 1.4 GB out of 2 GB RAM and no swap is used.

No problems with kernel 2.6.7.
(Peak RAM usage during filelist gathering was 1.8 GB, no swap)

Nick your mail got lost here, sorry.

I did rsync -av xeon2:/disc1 . on the target system.
xeon2 is the system that gets out of memory.
/disc1 is 60GB and contains several thousand files.
I think this is a common backup situation.

I found out I could trigger the memory outage using du -s /disc1 too.
