Hi, I'm using rsync to backup a Linux Mandrake 10.1 (kernel 2.6.10) ext3 filesystem (+- 5GB of content, lots of little files) to a CIFS filesystem mounted with samba 3.0.10. The exact invocation of rsync is:
/usr/local/bin/rsync -v -a --copy-links --delete /var/www /mnt/backup/backup_www Using the system provided rsync 2.6.3 and a self-compiled 2.6.5 this process runs for a while and then simply hangs. What's even worse, when I try to kill the job, the process becomes owned by pid 1, can't be killed anymore and thus the memory it holds doesn't get released anymore (forcing me to reboot the machine about once a month or so). Does anybody have any ideas as to what could be causing this?
