+Is chunking or partsize configured on the S3 special remote?
+The output of `git-annex info fcp-indi` will tell us that.
+
+How large are the files you're sending? Are any particularly large, eg
+larger than available ram?
+
+Am I understanding correctly that you're sending 4 million files to S3?
+And do these failures happen after a significant number of those files have
+been sent, or more randomly?
+
+Does git-annex's memory use show a trend of increasing the more files are
+sent?
