I don't think this is about disk or memory leak as transfering files locally
seem to work fine.
Can you test transferring files from (and to) your Linux boxes to (and from) the
FreeBSD servers to check that it is not a network issue inside your DCs.

I do not have any answer to your question , but I want to share one my
experiences .
I Linux ( KDE ) I was copying a hard disk contents to another drive by
using Dolphin .
At the beginning it was very fast , but over time its speed reduced to a
few kilobytes per second .
It listed completion time left as months .
I inspected why this is the case .
The reason was the following :
On each file it is copied , the Dolphin was producing approximately 1
Kilobyte memory leak .
After copying more than one million file , all of the memory exhausted and
it started to swap
memory to hard disk swap space which reduced copy speed to a few kilobytes
per second .
I stopped the Dolphin and copied small directory groups by restarting the
Dolphin . This cured the problem because on each exit , all of the leaked
memory by Dolphin has been disposed ( where "Undo" item of Dolphin menu was
disabled means memory is not reserved for undo ).
Please study your data transfer software for such a possibility . It may
not be problematic in Linux but FreeBSD version may have some trouble
points .
There is another possibility : Graceful degradation .
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graceful_degradation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fail_soft
A program part may produce graceful degradation over time or processed data
:
For example , assume a list is searched by sequentially . When list length
grows , search times
also grows linearly and produces a degradation although there is no any
error in the process .
You may study your system with respect to such a process .
These are the possibilities which come to my mind .
Thank you very much .
