Trying to rsync a big directory from one place to another. Not much free memory.

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000186b

What I notice is that swap is not in use:

total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 907512 883488 24024 0 66184 658980
-/+ buffers/cache: 158324 749188
Swap: 497972 0 497972


config and other junk available on request.

Thankyou,
