Are you REALLY sure it is hung?? I rsync the bulk of the Red Hat site
every 6 hours. This is also what I used for the initial whack and it
worked flawlessly. It can look hung but in my experience it is just
working it's magic.
Also FWIW I also do a partial of kernel.org (the 2.2 and 2.4 tree + people)
so I am doing kernel updates every night.
here is my command line:
# rsync -avH --partial --delete --delete-excluded --exclude-from=$EXCLUDE_FILE \
path_to_source_tree/ destination.
HTH,
