That's somewhat different. I can't help you but I've also had rsync
hang some time ago. It consumed almost 100% cpu indefinitely; I killed
it after between 40min and 1h. It happened about 4 times, always when
updating our eclipse mirror. The hang was at similar but different
points. It was cpu bound and not io as you say. It occurred with 2
different upstream sources, one running v3.0.x and the other running
2.6.9, and here both with 3.0.6 and 3.1. All cases were with a
standard recursive/delete scan. I didn't report it because I didn't
have anything more specific. It never happened again.

BTW, the eclipse repository has been a can of worms here. I also had
corrupted log output from rsync with it... These corruptions are much
more recent, I don't know if there's a relation between the log and
hang events.

You didn't post the link to it.

It might show where rsync is hanging. But the distance between this
info and fixing the problem can be light-years...
