Sheer volume. With something in the range of 100,000,000 small files, it takes a good day or two to rsync. This means that getting a consistent image without significant downtime is impossible. I can handle a few minutes, maybe an hour. Much more than that and I have to explore other options. (In this case, it looks like we'll be biting the bullet and switching to ZFS)
