Hi, 1) on trustix 2.2 (python 2.2.3), rdiff-backup compiled from source, it didn't set correct ownership on soft links, bugging me that lchown is not there. After some tries (like creating /bin/lchown -> /bin/chown :), I figured it out and commented lines containing #ifdef/endif HAVE_LCHOWN in cmodule.c May be I just had to add #define HAVE_LCHOWN someplace before. It looks like a problem with python 2.2, but it's not mentioned anywhere.
2) on my servers (dual 3GHz Xeon, gigabit network) it gives ~2MB/s data transfer speed, no matter if it's initial backup or incremental update. It is through ssh/blowfish/no_compression/... I know it must be much faster working on local drives, or even through nfs, but I want just ssh. On the same servers scp/rsync gives 20-30MB/s steady transfer rate. Changing Globals.py: blocksize = 524288 conn_bufsize = 1572864 is not helping at all. Surprisingly cpu load on both client and server remains in between 3-6%, and disks are practically idle. Anybody who dig it - tell me what strace/whatever could I run. I'll be happy if it may be increased at least up to 10MB/s. 3) when run with --exclude-other-filesystems, rdiff-backup refuses to create mountpoint directories. Say I backup my "/", and it doesn't create /proc and bunch of /mnt/sdaX /mnt/nfs_something directories in the backup copy. I think this is a bug, it should create mountpoint directories them-self, but should not copy anything from those mounted filesystems of course. Both rsync (rsync -x) and tar (tar --one-file-system) work differently, the way I describe here.
