today's backup gave me the following message:
Warning: Attempt to rename over same inode:

Is it something I need to worry about?
Hi Patrick,
Yes, you should worry about this. It indicates that the directory /mnt/
sdb1/backup/some/path/ has duplicate inodes.
If you do `ls -li` in that directory, it will list the inode numbers.
IIRC, the inode number for "some_filename" will be duplicated in that
list.
A good e2fsck will hopefully sort that out. Check the mailing list
archives for more information, as I recall a recent problem like this.
good luck,
Andrew
