Hello
Alain,
Thanks for sharing
this useful program with the Internet community! I've come across an issue that I
hope you might have some insight to;^)
I've been trying to
pipe udpcast through gzip but get the message "pipeline full" a ways into the
operation before it finishes. The specific setup is two computers with the
exact same setup: P4 1.8Ghz w/ 256ram, and 80GB seagate hdds. I'm sending
a 4GB partition from one to the other across a 100 hub. The exact command and
arguments I'm using for the respective computer are:
udp-sender -p "gzip
-1" -f /dev/hda1
udp-receiver -p
"gzip -d" -f /dev/hda1
The partition has
about 1.4GB of data and the rest is empty. (I made sure the drive was zeroed out
before installing the os) The interesting thing is that it seems
to do fine until it hits the empty part of the drive at which point the
compression ratio of course gets extremely high, and then after it's compressed
up to the 3GB mark, the receiving computer crashes with the message "pipeline
full".
Also, you mention on
the udpcast commandline page that the pipe argument can also be used to strip
out unused blocks on the device. How would I go about doing this?
This would be a viable alternative if the gzip issue can't be resolved as my
bottomline purpose is to not have to send all those empty blocks across the wire
if I don't have to!
Thanks in advance
for any help you or anyone else can offer on the issue,
Daniel P.
