Hi!

I was recently flashing a Debian image from https://rcn-ee.net to internal 
eMMC using an SD card. I was flashing 6 BeagleBone Green boards and 2 of 
those showed errors in the console during the process:

[  336.911666] omap_hsmmc 481d8000.mmc: prep_slave_sg() failed
[  336.917278] omap_hsmmc 481d8000.mmc: MMC start dma failure
        473.56M  84%    9.12MB/s    0:00:08  [  336.952874] mmcblk1: 
unknown error -1 sending read/write command, card status 0x900
[  336.960803] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk1, sector 1087424
[  336.967438] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk1, sector 1087432
 etc ...

The copying completed, the boards rebooted and I couldn't detect any 
immediate problems running the mal-flashed boards. It does look rather 
scary, however, so I gave it a quick googling and ended up with this thread:
https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9379&p=48893

Adding the line below to the beginning of 
"/opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh" resolves the I/O error.

sysctl -w vm.min_free_kbytes=16384

Any guesses as to whether there's an actual problem with rsync's memory 
usage, causing errors in the flashing process? Would it be a good idea to 
update the upsream script used in rcn-ee.net?
