Hello list

I've been running the following command, first in fc20 and then now (since the beginning of March) in fc26: now=$(date +"%Y%m%d-%H%M"); sudo rsync -ahuAESX -vi /home/ /run/media/readlegal/Backup/home > /run/media/readlegal/Backup/rsync-changes_$now

Since the move to fc26, this command has caused the complete freeze/crash of the system.  I tried it under multi-user non-graphic mode in case it was something to do with new graphics systems (don't know why).  The output of the above always stops at:
sending incremental file list
.d..t...... Music/FLACs/Various_Artists/Temple_Sampler/
>f+++++++++ Music/FLACs/Various_Artists/Temple_Sampler/13-brian_mcneill-the_butterfly_chain.flac

(total 183 bytes file size, always)

By complete freeze/crash I mean:
* hard-drive light indicates spinning, but no noise (activity)
* unable to ssh in
* unable to ping
* in multi-user text, I'm first able to switch to another login console, but then unable to progress past the login password; after switching to other consoles, the original login screen attempt has gone blank other than a blinking cursor top left * in graphic mode, there's no (inter)activity whatsoever possible - though screen has desktop on it
* the only apparent solution is a hard reset

The external drive is a WD 750GB hard-drive in a StarTech.com external hard-drive caddy connected via eSATA cable to an old Dell Vostro 3500.

Any help or suggestions debugging this would be really appreciated.

Many thanks
Morgan.

Did you check the drive for SMART info/errors? Sounds to me like a
hardware problem.

Thanks Fabian for coming back to me with that - unfortunate, I don't think the problems is quite so easily solved as getting a new hard-drive :-(

As I mentioned above, all was going well until the upgrade from f20 to f26 - any help would be really appreciated as I'm without backup and this is failure leaves me just a tad worried...
