I've been trying to make a copy of my cpool, using rsync, and after 24 
hours of it being stuck I canceled the copy and took a look at where and 
why it was stuck.

To my surprise I found these 2x2.1T files
-rw-r----- 7   backuppc backuppc 2199023264949 Mar 16  21:13 
cpool/a/e/4/ae496006795331856abe020c5c34acf4
-rw-r----- 17 backuppc backuppc 2199023255586 May 17 20:03 
cpool/a/e/4/ae49846046c06a81cc395f23b9ffa4f8

I gather that backuppc uses sparse files, else my 30Gb partition 
couldn't hold the files.

My question is how now?  What to do?

I used rsync -auzHS to try to copy the files, but like I said after 24+ 
hours it remained stuck.

Any suggestions as to how to deal with them?  Based on the fact that 
they have a bunch of links associated with them simply removing wouldn't 
be an option.

Thanks for any suggestions

Pete
