So, are you confident that your motherboard ports, HBA ports, and SSD's are all working correctly now?The OOM death of the system was the xfce4 terminal apparently beingset for unlimited scrollback and that was eating the memory. Switching to Konsole with has the ability to control the scrollbackto 200 lines, and its taken all 32G's as .cache and 1536 1k blocks of swap, and its working w/o any OOM actions I've detected.Okay. Xfce -> Terminal Emulator -> right click on screen -> Preferences -> General -> Scrolling: Scrollback 200 Unlimited scrollback uncheckUsing tee(1) would allow you to both monitor progress and save standard output and/or standard error (via shell redirection).A related issue is that lots of standard output can slow a program. Minimizing a terminal can help. Redirecting standard output to a file or to /dev/null can help, especially when done on the remote host while using ssh(1).The best solution is to tell rsync(1) not to generate messages on standard output -- do not use --verbose, do not use --info, do not use --progress, etc.; use --quiet, etc..

Thinking the AppImages dir is full of soft links of short names pointing at the long filename and had turned the links into duplicates, that was the first thing I checked, but it was all good soft-links, so where did the extra 19.4G's come from? Can filesystem ext4's overhead account for that?

Thanks David.
