Re: rsync to ext2 filesystem issues

Thanks RVP for your patience.

I tested that rump mount days before (I used rump_ext2fs command to
mount), I think it is the same that you have pointed here. Doing the
rsync it got stuck in the same place. Good thing was that I could
unmount the filesystem not requiring a fsck.

Normally when rsync stucks,  rsync processes cannot be killed
requiring shutdown without a clean unmount (and also an fsck of the
NetBSD FFS main root filesystem on the booting)

Regards.

Regards.
