Hello, I've noticed an occasional problem running rsync. When running rsync, sometimes the system becomes unresponsive. Running top, I notice the system load continually increasing and I cannot kill rsync (even with sudo kill -9 <rsync_process_id>). I have to reboot or shutdown the system to recover. Rsync is basically syncing from another host (rsync -Pav some_host::dir2sync/ /local/dir/) or from a locally mounted cifs share (rsync -Pav /mnt/win_share/ /another/local/dir/). My local filesystems are ext4. This seems to happen when running 2 or more rsync processes at the same time. I didn't have this problem with rhel5. Any suggestions to help debug this problem. I have never run a system trace or similar debug tool. If that would be useful, let me know.
