Hello, I have a problem backing up my home directory to an AFS volume. The problem appears when backing up the ~/.ddd directory (among others), which looks very innocent:
flor...@gilgalad:~/.ddd$ ls -al * -rw-r--r-- 1 florenz florenz 187 2008-11-04 15:48 history -rw-r--r-- 1 florenz florenz 4312 2008-11-04 15:48 init -rw-r--r-- 1 florenz florenz 25675 2008-11-04 15:48 log -rw-r--r-- 1 florenz florenz 40 2008-11-04 14:34 tips sessions: total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 florenz florenz 4096 2008-11-04 15:48 . drwx------ 4 florenz florenz 4096 2008-11-04 15:48 .. themes: total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 florenz florenz 4096 2008-11-04 14:32 . drwx------ 4 florenz florenz 4096 2008-11-04 15:48 .. Running rdiff-backup with $ rdiff-backup -v10 --no-hard-links /home/florenz/.ddd /afs/tu-berlin.de/<..>/florenz/dot.ddd5 works fine but $ rdiff-backup -l /afs/tu-berlin.de/<..>/florenz/dot.ddd5 strangely gives: Fatal Error: Bad directory /afs/tu-berlin.de/<..>/florenz/dot.ddd5. It doesn't appear to be an rdiff-backup destination dir The content of the destination directory is: flor...@gilgalad:..florenz/dot.ddd5$ ls -al * -rw-r--r-- 1 123707 florenz 187 2008-11-04 15:48 history -rw-r--r-- 1 123707 florenz 4312 2008-11-04 15:48 init -rw-r--r-- 1 123707 florenz 25675 2008-11-04 15:48 log -rw-r--r-- 1 123707 florenz 40 2008-11-04 14:34 tips rdiff-backup-data: total 15 drwx------ 3 123707 florenz 2048 2010-06-25 10:27 . drwx------ 5 123707 florenz 2048 2008-11-04 15:48 .. -rw------- 1 123707 florenz 4779 2010-06-25 10:27 backup.log -rw------- 1 123707 florenz 0 2010-06-25 10:27 chars_to_quote -rw------- 1 123707 florenz 9 2010-06-25 10:27 current_mirror.2010-06-25T10:27:41+02:00.data -rw------- 1 123707 florenz 0 2010-06-25 10:27 error_log.2010-06-25T10:27:41+02:00.data -rw------- 1 123707 florenz 0 2010-06-25 10:27 extended_attributes.2010-06-25T10:27:41+02:00.snapshot -rw------- 1 123707 florenz 287 2010-06-25 10:27 file_statistics.2010-06-25T10:27:41+02:00.data.gz drwx------ 2 123707 florenz 2048 2010-06-25 10:27 increments -rw------- 1 123707 florenz 435 2010-06-25 10:27 mirror_metadata.2010-06-25T10:27:41+02:00.snapshot.gz -rw------- 1 123707 florenz 474 2010-06-25 10:27 session_statistics.2010-06-25T10:27:41+02:00.data sessions: total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 123707 florenz 2048 2008-11-04 15:48 . drwx------ 5 123707 florenz 2048 2008-11-04 15:48 .. themes: total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 123707 florenz 2048 2008-11-04 14:32 . drwx------ 5 123707 florenz 2048 2008-11-04 15:48 .. The rdiff-log is attached to this mail. I experience the problem with v1.2.8 and v1.3.3. The problem does not appear when I back up to my local disc (ext3fs). Any help is very much appreciated, if further information is necessary to trace the problem, I will try to give it. Best regards, Florian
