It's a reiserfs3 filesystem, which I have been using for as long as I
have been using backuppc. Unfortuantely, it doesn't use inodes in the
traditional way. However, when I ran an fsck.reiserfs3, I did not see
any errors like that that jumped out at me.
Whats more, if it were filling up all its reiser-like inodes, wouldn't
other backups be failing or hanging? I'm running 15 or 16 other hosts,
with full backup sizes ranging between 0.3GB and 150GB. All of them
are doing the normal routine.
The only unique (or semi-unique) things I can think of are a) having
BackupsDisable set to 1 and requesting backups, but I have done that
before and it has worked, or b) something to do with backing up the
backup machine, but I am not backing up the pool, and I have done this
before as well (albeit on 3.1.0).
I am so out of ideas...:)
