Bug ID: 14962 Summary: Crash/restart using rsync 3.2.3 on M1 Mac Product: rsync Version: 3.2.0 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 Component: core Assignee: wa...@opencoder.net Reporter: arjunm...@gmail.com QA Contact: rsync...@samba.org Target Milestone: --- Hi there, Whole (macOS) system is crashing when transferring a large number of files from Mac to NAS via rsync. Running the below command on a directory with thousands of images (~5MB each) the transfer speed eventually slows down, the system gets choppy, freezes and then eventually the entire computer reboots. rsync -va --update --info=progress2 /Volumes/Source/folder /Volumes/Destination/folder I found this reported here as well: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/421007/rsync-3-2-3-keeps-crashing-on-mac-mini-m1# I experienced this on a M1 Mac mini running macOS Monterey. The stackexchange post is running Big Sur. rsync 3.2.3 was installed via homebrew (brew install rsync) so it may be possible this is a homebrew distribution/compile problem. The only solution for me was to downgrade back to use the included rsync in macOS (rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
