Answering myself, I think I found the issue. In fs_abilities.py
in def set_case_sensitive_readwrite(self, subdir):
the code is
upper_a = subdir.append("A")
upper_a.touch()
lower_a = subdir.append("a")
if lower_a.lstat():
.... system is case insensitive
but it seems like a stat on a file on a case insensitive filesystem
may fail for a different case:
du...@patoune:~$ rm -rf /media/HD-PEU2/td
du...@patoune:~$ mkdir /media/HD-PEU2/td
du...@patoune:~$ touch /media/HD-PEU2/td/A
du...@patoune:~$ stat /media/HD-PEU2/td/a
stat: cannot stat `/media/HD-PEU2/td/a': No such file or directory
And then
du...@patoune:~$ touch /media/HD-PEU2/td/a
touch: cannot touch `/media/HD-PEU2/td/a': File exists
Not sure if the bug is in my distribution, or if rdiff-backup should
test differently.
Also I can read python, but not really write it. Maybe the best
approach is trying to touch lower_a and catch the failure, but I
just can't code such complex task ;-)
