rsync - Apr 2015 - Rsync Failed & /proc/kcore 128 TiB & NTFS HDD Makes Scary sounds even when not mounted

Hi,

I tried to backup my gentoobox using rsync into a NTFS External Drive
Rsync Failed And now there is no space lesft on my root directory "/"
and kcore file size is 128 TiB and my External NTFS HDD makes scary
sounds (Like it is working hardly) even when its not mounted rsync
created some files/directories that i cant remove them on my External
HDD using "rm -rf" , Please help my to get my system & HDD back to
normal life.

If your hard disk is making scary noises that could be the drive starting
to fail have you tried to determine if the drive is still good or on the
way out?

I can still read&write on the external hdd and on my laptop (which I
have my gentoo there) I can't do anything on / because its filled up
with /proc/kcore after "rsync failed"

rsync -aAXv
--exclude={"/dev/*","/proc/*","/sys/*","/tmp/*","/run/*","/mnt/*","/media/*","/lost+found"}
/*
"/run/media/narin/My Book/Gentoo Rsync Backup"/

Solved,
Rsync put the backup into /root/Backup 
Found the folder using 

$du -h --max-depth=3 / | sort -h

also fixed the external NTFS HDD with M$-Windows (couldn't find an app
to fix ntfs on linux)
