Some of the rsync_error files in my vault have "file has vanished" messages. Also, even without files *vanishing*, there's the issue of files changing during the backup.
However, LVM and some individual file-systems support "snapshotting" the filesystem. It seems that it should be straightforward to configure Dirvish to accomodate this (just changing the root path which Dirvish starts from to point to wherever you're going to mount your filesystem snapshot, and then wrap the daily Dirvish cron script inside of commands which create, mount, and then release the snapshot).
It looks like it should be possible to do this with an *already existing* dirvish vault.
Has anybody already tried this? Are there some pitfalls I'm not seeing? - Joe
