Rsync

Rsync has been successfully run for quite a few years on a Debian system. The home directory has been
regularly transferred to a FAT32 USB drive.

Recently, rsync has been hanging.

Rsync just hangs at a particular small file that it gets to and doesn't move on - no
error message, so it doesn't crash, it just hangs.

The command is of the form :-

rsync -v -a --max-size=4GB --delete /home/users-name/.
/media/memstick/.

where users-name is the name of the user.

Can anyone help to solve this problem, please ?...
