Hi,
I can't remember having seen this issue reported upstream, so, of
course, it didn't get fixed. I didn't notice because I keep an eye on
disk space, but I understand that it doesn't help if you've just stepped
into the issue, so I'd very much like to address it fast.
An enhancement request now exists for this issue at
https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/issues/838
I marked the issue as beginner because I don't think that it will
require much changes to the code. This said, I'd like to have it fixed
for 2.2.3 so pretty quickly, hence volunteers should stand up fast. I'll
help where I can or I'll implement it anyway.
KR, Eric

Thanks Alexis, Tommi, Paul and many others for using rdiff-backup and
contributing to the bug report
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=310442!
The latest version of rdiff-backup 2.2.2-1 is now available in Debian
Sid and Bookworm: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/rdiff-backup
If you can still reproduce this issue or find other issues in how
rdiff-backup itself works, please report it to upstream at
https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup. The program behaviour on
full disk is probably not something we will patch in Debian packaging,
but it should be fixed upstream.
The project was dormant for years, but current maintainer Eric Lavarde
is active and has done a great job in resurrecting the main code base.
