The message appears in "Server Information" section, inside server status, in the web interface of BackupPC (page "BackupPC Server Status").

Both servers are running BackupPC version 4.4.0.
1st server says:  "Pool hashing gives 165 repeated files with longest chain 1"
2nd server says:  "Pool hashing gives 5 repeated files with longest chain 1"

I could not find more info/details about this message in the documentation.
Only a comment in github is mentioning this message, and to my understanding it is related to hash collisions in the pool.

Since hash collisions might be worrying (in theory), my question is if this is alarming and in that case if there is something that we can do about it (for example actions to zero out any collisions if needed).


Thank you very much.

Not just a random line pulled presumably from a log file or web page
and saying "I guess it's a problem".
