what does lsof tell? does rsync hang on a specific file? i would wonder if this is a rsync problem. as you told you killed all processes. so, on the second run rsync knows nothing from before... roland Am 18.

That's a good idea. I just tried that and it copied no problem. -- Kip Warner -- Senior Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail

Have you considered to introduce a "deduplicate mode" for rsync, replacing duplicate files in the destination directory by hard links? Of course there might be a lot of problems together with this feature, but on creating backups it could help to save a lot of disk space. --link-dest might be interesting in this context, too.
