Assuming you were updating a backup started earlier, this is a good
sign, since for backwards compatibility it needs to keep quoting if
quoting was enabled before. However, filename too long errors should
be recoverable, and not crash rdiff-backup. Perhaps you could start
the python interpreter and type this in:
import errno
errno.ENAMETOOLONG
36
errno.errorcode[63]
'ENOSR'
(example values are what my system says---yours must be different if
it is crashing rdiff-backup).
I get:
% python
Python 2.4.2 (#1, Oct 14 2005, 16:33:25)
[GCC 4.0.0 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5026)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import errno
>>> errno.ENAMETOOLONG
63
>>> errno.errorcode[63]
'ENAMETOOLONG'
