rsync backup of your ESXi box: How to make a statically linked rsync binary
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/02/09
As promised mid last year in “fixing” ESXi “rsync error: error allocating core memory buffers (code 22) at util2.c(106) [sender=3.1.2]”, I would follow up on building a static rsync
for ESXi one day.
So below a few links on how to do this, roughly in the order I found them (most via [Wayback] vmware rsync “3.1.2” static – Google Search):
- [Wayback] How to make a statically linked Rsync Binary – neddix.com wiki. (on CentOS 3.9)
- [Wayback] Backup of ESXi Virtual Machines using Affa – SME Server (on CentOS 3.9)
- [Wayback] VMware ESXi 5.1 rsync 3.0.9 statically linked binary erstellen – bachmann-lan.de (on CentOS 3.9)
- [Wayback] rsync for vmware 5.5 – techinfo (on redhat (centos) 6.x)
- [Wayback] How to compile a statically linked rsync binary for ESXi
- [Wayback/Archive.is] noelmartinon/vmtools: Tools for VMware ESXi to use in ESXi (on CentOS 3.9)

The CentOS development team is please to announce the release of CentOS 3.9 for i386 and x86_64. This is the final minor release for CentOS-3. With this release CentOS-3 has entered its maintenance phase during which time only fixes for critical functional and security issues will be provided. CentOS 3.9 is available on all mirrors and via bittorrent. This release corresponds to the upstream vendor U9 release together with updates through July 3rd 2007 (depending on architecture). The serverCD version (1 cdrom) is available for i386 and x86_64. The work for the other arches is still in progress.
To get CentOS 3.9, use one of these archives (I saved all in the Wayback machine as I know how short downloads can last):

There are actually very few places that still have CentOS-3.9-i386-binDVD.iso
on-line. The only place I could find was [Wayback] Index of /operating_system/unix/centos/3.9
