rsync to my external eSATA HD is crashing/freezing my system...
Hello list I've been running the following command, first in fc20 and then now (since the beginning of March) in fc26: now=$(date +"%Y%m%d-%H%M"); sudo rsync -ahuAESX -vi /home/ /run/media/readlegal/Backup/home > /run/media/readlegal/Backup/rsync-changes_$now Since the move to fc26, this command has caused the complete freeze/crash of the system. I tried it under multi-user non-graphic mode in case it was something to do with new graphics systems (don't know why). The output of the above always stops at: sending incremental file list .d..t...... Music/FLACs/Various_Artists/Temple_Sampler/ >f+++++++++ Music/FLACs/Various_Artists/Temple_Sampler/13-brian_mcneill-the_butterfly_chain.flac (total 183 bytes file size, always) By complete freeze/crash I mean: * hard-drive light indicates spinning, but no noise (activity) * unable to ssh in * unable to ping * in multi-user text, I'm first able to switch to another login console, but then unable to progress past the login password; after switching to other consoles, the original login screen attempt has gone blank other than a blinking cursor top left * in graphic mode, there's no (inter)activity whatsoever possible - though screen has desktop on it * the only apparent solution is a hard reset The external drive is a WD 750GB hard-drive in a StarTech.com external hard-drive caddy connected via eSATA cable to an old Dell Vostro 3500. Any help or suggestions debugging this would be really appreciated. Many thanks Morgan.

Sounds to me like a hardware problem. bye Fabi

There may be some newly enabled driver feature that breaks your hardware. For example, some external USB drives (e.g. Seagate Backup+ Hub devices) don't properly support UAS, so when that became the default in the kernel those drives started misbehaving. Perhaps something similar has happened to eSATA? .Dave.
