Romain,

Thanks a lot for that pointer, it was surprisingly difficult to find
anything about this via usual web search. After a little scripting and
a bit of coordinated effort we're looking much healthier.

We noticed the worst offender directories appeared to have multiple
"nested" rsync temp files left behind, i.e., the replicator on a peer
host was trying to copy existing rsync partial files (e.g.
./objects/27913/91c/1b4263d0e93452b461572bbf57f9591c/.1467136978.92866.data.1RdQku.bCyhfi.6JlGol)
and thus quickly compounding the problem!

Cheers,
