Since I didn't hear back from anyone I decided to try things a little
differently. Instead of rsyncing on the local machine, I ran the rsync
from another cluster member who also mounts the same partition I was
trying to move things too.

So instead of

rsync -a /path/to/files/ /mnt/http/

I used

rsync -a root at 10.1.1.121::/path/to/files/  /mnt/http/

and I didn't have a crash at all. Why would this not cause a problem
when the first one did? Is this more of an rsync problem maybe? I do
have 2 NFS exports, could those have been causing the problem?

Thanks.
