Peter, One other thing. The first two times it crashed I erased the file tree created by rsync so that the snaphot started from scratch again.
Each of these two times it got to exactly the same file: usr/lib/locale/es_CO/LC_COLLATE when it crashed. That was when I stopped rebuidling and re-cabling my hardware, because I saw a determinate pattern in the crashes... (sheepish) should have said that before .. sorry.. ..Trevor.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
