I will give that a shot when I get a chance. However, remember that these computers are not just sitting there copying data via rsync. They're serving as file servers, Domino servers, web servers and other things. They do heavy disk and network traffice routinely. In fact, my emergency workaround is to use smb instead of rsync to back them up, and this works fine. While the bug may or may not be in rsync, it is only triggered by rsync. These systems do not exist in a vacuum, and they work *fine* outside of this. > > So, I am able to reproduce the error with 3 different computers, 2 > > completely different operating system families and a bunch of different > > versions. > > Do you have any that never have errors?

If so, try turning them off. > Perhaps different brands of switches and NICs if possible. I've used **3** different computers with wildly different hardware. On the host side, I've used **4** different computers (and most of them are high-end server hardware) with wildly different hardware. It's not related to a specific brand or type of hardware.
