I have run into the issue described here when syncing on low-memory systems (RPi): https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/issues/81 As the bug alludes to, this is fixed in master (which is now released as 3.2.3). In particular the following commit: https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/commit/9375a8c4c2b79a9d44ceae00de7284b77d79033c I have tested 3.2.3 from portage here and it resolves the memory ballooning for me. Reproducible: Always
Sure.
