I have a "permanent" SD card in each of my XOs, and use 'rsync' to keep the contents of these SD cards synchronized between systems. Lately I've been encountering a lot of trouble with using 'rsync' between F11-on-XO systems. Typically, the data transfer stalls (and sometimes leaves the receiving-end SD card corrupted).
since i know you use ethernet quite a bit, is this with a wired or a wireless connection (or both)?

I'm not sure which end of the rsync data transfer is at fault. The daemon (sending) end is left high and dry, but at least in that machine I can continue (and 'kill -2' the daemon, if need be). The machine at the receiving end typically becomes unresponsive (often the only thing I can do is to power off). My guess is that the receiving end may be running out of memory (though I *do* have a swap partition defined).
I'm not writing a bug report, because I cannot deliberately reproduce this (it just happens, sooner or later). I'm seeing this both with recent rawhide-xo builds and with recent SoaS builds.
