I recently started using afuse and sshfs to mount remote directories on
my local system. For example, remotebox:/ is available under
localbox:/home/bam/.sshfs/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ .
Naturally, I would not like rdiff-backup to back up these remote
filesystems. I have this line in my exclusion list:
/home/*/.sshfs/
However, rdiff-backup descends into /home/bam/.sshfs/ anyway. I think
that it is evaluating every single filename against the exclude list.
This makes the backup run take a very long time if I happen to have a
remote directory mounted at the time. It's long even for one host,
never mind several.
Is this correct behavior? Is there any way for me to stop rdiff-backup
from looking beneath that directory entirely? I can't practically use
--exclude-other-filesystems because the local system has multiple
filesystems.
I am using rdiff-backup version 1.0.3. (This was the last 1.0.x version
that I got before Debian for some reason began packaging 1.1.x even
though it is not the "stable" version.)
Thanks!
