[Bug 1778932] Re: rsync can trigger system crash

[Robie Basak]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

Reassigning to the kernel since rsync should never be able to crash the
system and if it crashes it's usually the kernel or bad hardware that's
responsible.

** Package changed: rsync (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu)

Title:
  rsync can trigger system crash

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm not sure how much of this is rsync or something else in my system.
  I can reliably trigger this using rsync to transfer files from one
  drive to another drive on my computer.   the source is ssd and
  destination is mdadm raid 1 partition.  will attach syslog messages.
  after it is triggered, the the system becomes unresponsive and
  requires a hard reboot. running rysnc as user, no special privileges.
