Thanks!

So nobody has any comment on USB drive causing the whole system to
halt? Since the rsync was quite long and we've been having some power
failures I put the external drives in the UPS and it had no failures
over the weekend and finished fine. So the issue here is that is an
external USB drive in UFS + Journaling fails the whole system crashes.
I don't think this should be so and osmeone should look into that.

Should I report a bug? Is there enough information to actually post a
bug? Does anyone here feel this is a bug, or is it expected behaviour?

Best,
Alejandro Imass
