Hi Peter,
I've been away for the weekend, so I'm answering this a bit little. You stated that "dSync
backups which for some reason are hanging part way through the mirroring process".
Perhaps you have a program that can only handle filesizes <= 2GB in size (the original
limit on the HPFS, as I remember). I use BackAgain 3.0 and it has this problem. It backs
up into a single file archive and if that file reaches 2 GB, BackAgain stops. Now, since I
don't know much about dSync, I'm just guessing here. Does dSync back up into a
single file? If so, is that file at the 2GB limit, when dSync stops?
