Rsync probably builds a table in memory to track the inodes of files with multiple links so you may be running out of RAM or slowing down from swapping. For a brute-force approach to see what is happening you could strace the rsync process on the sending side. You could at least tell if it is still opening/reading files. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
