I have a 500GB USB external drive and wanted to keep it NTFS. I also wanted to copy my full home directory from one computer to the other. I created an ext4 loopback file on the NTFS and started coping. When I reached to VirtualBox image on my home directory it got stuck. Afterwards it always got stuck even when excluding the VirtualBox.
The NTFS loop continued even after I kill rsync.
Eventually I dropped the idea of having a ext4 loopback on NTFS (I also wanted to use it for backup).
Same problem here.
