Trying to use rsync on a Mac mini M1 to backup from an external hard drive(formatted as APFS) to a NAS (shared as smb/cifs). I've tried a number of rsync commands but this was the most recent

rsync -avv --delete --info=progress2 /Volumes/FranBackup_6TB/FranArchives/Frans_Files /Volumes/FranArchives/

It starts running fine but after a while, maybe an hour or so it completely crashes the system and my Mac reboots. I've tried the cp command and that doesn't seem to crash. Below is the error message received after rebooting.

edit I failed to mention I had installed rsync version 3.2.3 via brew.

Lot of variables here. Not sure if it's related to rsync, or Big Sur, or M1 chip or the smb/cifs share etc. Any ideas? Seems pretty simple what I'm trying to do. Just back up my external drive to my NAS.

Reverting back to the default macOS default version of rsync (2.6.9) resolved the issue.

  • I encountering the same issue using homebrew rsyc v 3.2.7 while mirroring a local folder of 55k file to an SMB 3 network share. I'm on macOS v13.5.2. You might want to add the path to native rsync to your answer. It's /usr/bin/rync. Commented Oct 7, 2023 at 16:29

The rsync that Apple includes in Big Sur is rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29. It's from circa 2006.

The current version of rsync is rsync version 3.2.3 protocol version 31.

You can install it from Homebrew or MacPorts or try building it from source, if you want.

But it's no surprise that a 15-year-old tool is having issues. I assume there is some sort of licensing that prevents Apple from including a more up-to-date version of rsync with macOS.

I would suggest installing a new version and trying again.

    Yes, I was going to suggest the opposite: try the MacOS tool, rather than the homebrew one. Commented May 21, 2021 at 16:56

    Actually it is a big surprise that a 15-year-old tool were having these issues. A user-space program generating a kernel panic is a surprise in itself, but it would have been less of a surprise with a new, "unproven" tool rather than an old, tried-and-tested tool.

This issue still exists, on the default shipping version of rsync, on Monterey 12.2. I’ve also found that the issue surfaces using ArqBackup targeting an SMB share for cloud backup.

What happens for me before the total system crash, is that the network link itself actually crashes and shows as offline, prior to securityd segfaulting, and then a barrage of keychain password prompts. This culminates in an unexpected total system reset/restart.

In my case, I’ve completely uninstalled homebrew, and the issue still persists. Happens on both an M1 Mac Mini and an M1 MacBook Pro. Hoping to do some testing on an Intel MacBook Pro this weekend.

I have Macbook M1 Pro (Mac OS Monterey 12.4), and switching from default rsync to brew rsync 3.2.4_1 worked for me. I gave the command,

brew install rsync

and then located the location of the rsync binary installed (which was /opt/homebrew/Cellar/rsync/3.2.4_1/bin/rsync in my case) and used the same to download the files, and it worked perfectly.

    This answer seems to be pointless. The only difference from the OP's question is that the OP installed verson 3.2.3, also via brew. Commented Jul 5, 2022 at 14:25
  • Upgrading to 3.2.4 seems a good step and then possibly opening an issue with the maintainer if there is none and you have a repeatable report Commented Jul 5, 2022 at 17:16
