-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Andrew,
thanks for getting back to me 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. I found this thread: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/rdiff-backup-users/2008-07/msg00121.html I had also found this before I sent my message to the list, and, following your advice there, did an fsck already, with no reported errors. rdiff-backup didn't regress to the last version during the following backup here, though. The file in question is an email (we're using Maildir storage, that was the mail server's backup). From what I can tell, the file is in the backup just as it should be. `ls -li /mnt/sdb1/backup/some/path/ | cut -b 1-8 | sort | uniq -d` doesn't result in any output. In this directory, it's the only file that has two links (in the backup as well as on the original file system on the server)...
