This is another error reading the metadata file. In the
rdiff-backup-data directory there should be two mirror_metadata
snapshots, and some diffs. One of the diffs should be only half
written, but the two snapshots should be intact. Do they validate
correctly with gzip -t and look normal at the end if you just view
them? If so, try:
zcat mirror_metadata.<time>.snapshot.gz | grep ResourceFork
to see the resource fork lines. Anything weird there? All the lines
should look like one of these two:
ResourceFork None
ResourceFork <hex data>
If there are too many lines to look through manually easily, you could
use this logging patch, so you can see what data it's having a problem
with.
