Well, if I can't; they're the ones who screwed up.  :-)

Ok, ok; this isn't the same thread anymore.  :-)

Linux duckling 3.4.47-2.38-default #1 SMP Fri May 31 20:17:40 UTC 2013 (3961086) i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

It probably is.

It's an old Athlon, MSI MS-7021, KT6V chipset; 512M of DDR... maybe that's
DDR 2; it won't run right with more.

I don't seem to have lshw.

Or, oddly, hwconfig.  It's got 3 Seagate ST3000DM001s, 2 on a SiI 7114 PCI
with a pair of Fujitsu Deskstars, 2T and 1T; 40G Samsung boot on the mobo SATA;
the third 3000 is in a USB 2 enclosure.

And this latest rsync has gotten 78G and then paused; 80G and then paused....

84G and then paused...

5 min LA 1.9, and the rsync is the top process.

I have smartd running; no errors yet.

Still watching...

Cheers,
