Error filesize logfile, is getting bigger
knight-of-ni opened this issue · comments
I am using RsyncOSX to sync a large number of photos from a macbookpro to my linux fileserver.
RsyncOSX is configured to save a detailed log. After a successful transfer, when I attempt to view the log in RsyncOSX, I see many lines with the message "Error filesize logfile, is getting bigger".
In order to isolate where this message is coming from, I'd like to open the logfile directly from the command line, but I am unsure where to look on the filesystem for the logfile.
Hi, RsyncOSX makes a warning if the logfile is larger than 100,000 lines. The reason for this is because every time a log is written to the logfile, RsyncOSX reads the file and appends (in memory) new loglines. Extensive logging to file might produce some very big files...
You will find the logfile in: $HOME/.rsyncosx/macserialnumber/rsyncosx.txt
The best method for reading and deleting lines is open by a terminal and use like vi.. Or if your Finder reads .dot files (enable in settings) you can access it by the Finder..
Found it. Thank you very much.
