Slightly after this was enabled, all the bittorrent stuff started
falling over on svr4. This has been seen before when the load has
approached a certain level on svr4 - which appears to be severly
overloaded much of time (still on unionfs, I beleive).
Could you please do some monitoring and see if this could be related to
the rsync stuff (I beleive you need to be on the host and not the VM to
do that easily). It seems that it shouldn't be that much load (yet), but
the timing was suspiciously close.
