I'm syncing some very large filesystems across the net with rsync, but essentially using a sneakernet to move the bandwidth-intensive files. I've been using a hard drive, but thought it'd be nice to just use a large USB thumb drive instead.
Right now, I just run as-is on the USB drive and if it errors out, I pull out a large mechanical drive and use that.
I'm running this on OSX in the default bash shell.
My example would have looked better like this:
rsync -av --only-write-batch=/Volumes/usb/batch --stats /Users/dfbadmin/sandbox/ remote.server.com:/Users/dfbadmin/archives/

I am trying to create tar files of a whole bunch of files and want to limit them to 50Mb each.
I have tried using the -k option but cannot get it to work.
Has anyone out there had success creating these?
Cheers

I would like to limit the size of syslog log files. Is there a setting I can enter in syslog.conf that does this for me. Ideally I would like something along the lines of a circular buffer of N bytes.
P.S. I'm a new user, and this site is awesome. I wish I found it earlier.
Thanks,
