I'm trying to upload a big directory (1TB) with thousands of 'small' files (nohup gsutil -m cp -R -q /dir/* gs://bucket_name &). But after a couple of hours I can see the CPU usage skyrocketing to 100% and the network traffic dropping to 0 (for 24hrs). My guess is that gsutil is trying to compute an md5... but none of the files is bigger than 20mb. There is nothing useful on nohup.out. Any ideas or suggestions?
