A couple of thoughts: What version of rsync are you using? I had problems a while back, and have found some versions have issues, and it is not necessarily newer=better. I would make sure you have the newest one, and if you do already, try backing down a minor version. I have had the best luck with 2.5.5. 2.5.6-38 (suse rpm) has had a few untimely deaths when imaging.
I have also had problems with kernels other than 2.4.18 and >2.4.20. The 2.4 series high memory code is a little buggy to say the least, and will kill off some things when there is a lot of memory IO, but this doesn't really seem to be a problem unless you have greater than 1.5GB of RAM. hth, -- Michael Stone Linux / High Performance Computing Administrator The University of Texas at Austin Mechanical Engineering Department ETC 3.130 ph: 471.5951 agentsmith[at]mail.utexas.edu http://hpc.me.utexas.edu On Wed, 3 Sep 2003, David Caldwell wrote: > Okay, it sounds like I need to give a better description then. > > I am using for an image server a single processor 900MHz machine I had laying around > the lab.
