If you are implying that if I had only waited a week or a month for this to complete on OpenBSD yesterday, I think you are incorrect. This was hung, not slow. As for your suggestion to try FFS, that's a non-starter. I have Linux systems and will do the rsyncs from primary to secondary with them. I did this with OpenBSD yesterday because, in general, I much prefer the system to Linux. But I realize it's not perfect -- no system is -- and it appears that I found an imperfection. Using Linux for this is a reasonable workaround, though if anyone has an interest in trying to debug the OpenBSD problem, I will help.
