that sounds like you have tried to rsync one of the very special

your homedir, /proc /sys or similar. Perhaps you hit some of the sockets

Could be something like that, since it seems to stop at the same point every
time.
Find out the pid of the hanging rsync, do "ll
/proc/$pid/fd" maybe it says
you what the culprit is.
Would you like to explain that please? I don't understand it. This is what
happened -
ll /proc/$22374/fd
ls: cannot access /proc/2374/fd: No such file or directory
I did notice that the pid is very high, and it's obviously not recognisable
for the command. Something seems to be wrong.
Or run rsync verbose to see the last files that were accessed.
I know where it stops every time, in that it's a not very big .jpg that's the
last file to be listed, but I suspect that, like bootup messages, I see the
last one to complete. I still need to know what it's trying to do next.
