rsync seems to hang when asked to update backup of large disk

The title says it. I have rsync set up to run from the Double Commander 2 pane file
manager. If I select parallel directories of modest size, rsync runs fine. (There are
very few or no updates. I'm just trying to ensure all is up to date.)

However if I choose a high level directory on each side, it goes for a while then seems to
just hang.

I'm wondering if I've overflowed some sort of index or buffer. Suggestions?

I don't mind if it gives me a warning and stops. Then I can simply use smaller chunks.
However, no message and not stopping is a problem.

Best, JN
