Rsync has apparently killed it. I have to reboot.
Note there's no such thing as an rsync script. You probably mean you have a shell script that runs rsync at some point. Is the script copying from the system it's running on, to the Gentoo Linux system? Is the CIFS mount actually mounted on the Gentoo Linux, or is the Gentoo Linux system serving the CIFS mount which actually is mounted on the "one computer"? In that case it would be much better to directly rsync to the filesystem on the Gentoo system. Re: the ssh stopping working: To me this would suggest that there's an out-of-memory situation going on, and sshd is being killed because of this. However that would not explain why restarting it doesn't work. What exactly do you mean when you say restarting sshd doesn't help? Does it not stay running, or is the daemon in fact running but not accepting connections? It's the age-old question: "it doesn't work" -- "_how_ is it not working?" Does dmesg give any useful information? Or perhaps journalctl? Usually the clues are in plain signt if you check logs.
