Comment 6 for bug 1971932

I attempted to reproduce by running the command through localhost over ssh and it succeeded using a 3GB file. This may be due to the transfer between Ubuntu and Debian then. Here is my test case:

# lxc launch images:ubuntu/jammy test-rsync
# lxc exec test-rsync bash
# apt update && apt dist-upgrade -y
# apt install rsync openssh-server
# passwd ubuntu
# su ubuntu
# cd
# mkdir dest
# head -c 3GB /dev/urandom > test
# rsync -avz --stats -e ssh test localhost:~/dest/

@jmbaudach can you try to transfer your over 2GB file locally with ssh to see if it fails there. That will help us narrow down the issue.

Thanks!
