Title: Updateclient chokes on redhat9 "rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150)"

Hi

I am currently experimenting with systemimaging and various Linux distros and run into the following problem:

I have a redhat9 standard installation on a box and try to run updateclient to deploy a Debian testing image on that box.

At some point the rsync chokes and throws up a message:

rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150)

It also complains somewhere that the disk would be full.
The bizarr thing is, that I am trying to install onto a 35GB partition while the image is only ~1.2GB
When I run df -h on the box, it says that the disk is to 101% full.
A e2fsck finds a host of orphaned inodes, so I guess that is where there is something wrong.
I was able to reproduce this error on a frequent basis.
After that error the box is left in such an unstable state that I can't even soft-reboot it.

Anyone got any idea what is wrong?
Any hints how I can debug that error and how I can get a more verbose log than the one-liner in /var/log/systemimager/rsync ?
