We have been living with it for some few years now thru several versions of the rsync port and FreeBSD itself. The problem persists with both SMP and single chip machines.. Our work around is simply to segment the transfer into separate rsync processes which we run sequentially. We have never tried to determine what the magic number of files is that causes it to freeze up. e.g.: Syncing /usr/local usually fails, but doing /usr/local/[whatever] hasn't been a problem. --ericx
