Okay.
So, are you confident that your motherboard ports, HBA ports, and SSD's
are all working correctly now?
The OOM death of the system was the xfce4 terminal apparently being
set for unlimited scrollback and that was eating the memory. Switching
to Konsole with has the ability to control the scrollback
to 200 lines, and its taken all 32G's as .cache and 1536 1k blocks of
swap, and its working w/o any OOM actions I've detected.
Okay.
Xfce -> Terminal Emulator -> right click on screen -> Preferences ->
General -> Scrolling:
Scrollback 200
Unlimited scrollback uncheck
Using tee(1) would allow you to both monitor progress and save standard
output and/or standard error (via shell redirection).
A related issue is that lots of standard output can slow a program.
Minimizing a terminal can help. Redirecting standard output to a file
or to /dev/null can help, especially when done on the remote host while
using ssh(1).
The best solution is to tell rsync(1) not to generate messages on
standard output -- do not use --verbose, do not use --info, do not use
--progress, etc.; use --quiet, etc..
All good hints after it is done. Now the question is how did it make
this: homevol s/b very close to /home in size but:

It somehow changed 335G into 354G. Thinking the AppImages dir is full of
soft links of short names pointing at the long filename and had turned
the links into duplicates, that was the first thing I checked, but it
was all good soft-links, so where did the extra 19.4G's come from? Can
filesystem ext4's overhead account for that?

Thanks David.
