/iomega sounds like you're using some iomega device, which usually use
pre-formatted media using FAT32.

Dave and Marteen,
The iomega device I'm using is not formatted as FAT32. It's
partitioned and formatted as reiserfs. Is this filesystem type not

I'm still relatively a newbie to linux even though I've been using it
for almost two years, so excuse me for the ignorance. What is
"strace", and how would I be able to use to track down this segfault

I hope you get your problem resolved - as others have already said, it
doesn't look like an rdiff-backup problem anyway.
More to the point, if you need help in future, I hope you're able to
pick a less rude subject. I'd

this may be a shot in the dark, but have you tried installing the python

google searches for "Unable to import module xattr" and "Unable to

you know, a segfault is very unlikely to be an rdiff-backup problem.

yeah, I've starting to believe also that this is not an rdiff-backup
problem. I don't overclock and I don't have any inexpensive memory.
I'm thinking I should start from scratch. I'm running Suse Linux 9.2.
I didn't compile or optimize any package, cause actually I don't know
how to do so.
hmm that doesn't sound like a questionable config at all...
maybe you could try gdb... especially if you can set up a
local-fs-to-local-fs backup which causes the problem. then try this:
% gdb python
(gdb) run /usr/bin/rdiff-backup [rdiff-backup args here]
