I get approxiately 11.5 MBps on all directories that I've copied so far, therefore I don't think that it's a bandwidth issue. The HDD died when I issued rsync over a parent folder and rsync cried amost immediately, so it probably has to do with the IO when creating the list of files that need to be synchronized, i.e. path names + geli + bad firmware or a file that was on the list first + geli + bad firmware. So if I am really lucky I will get the combination of geli + file/directory that crashes the firmware of the USB HDD :) Or maybe my USB hub just doesn't like this HDD, note that I've tried to plug the cable of the HDD also directly into my laptop, when the problem appeared, but there was no effect, so most probably it's the HDD. I will let you know if I find something interesting or cry if something breaks again :) btw it's a Hitachi Touro Desk 2TB with USB 2.0. Regards, Momchil
