Andrew,
Thanks for the quick reply.
Im pretty sure these arent hardlinks, if Im clear on the definition of
hardlink. There are a lot of files that return the error but here is the first
one (from the mirror data):
ls -l ACCPACPL.PIF
-rwxr--rw- 1 rdiff-backup rdiff-backup 967 Dec 5 1998 ACCPACPL.PIF
file ACCPACPL.PIF
ACCPACPL.PIF: data
All this data is the same when the commands are run on the original source file
as well.
Maybe some of the files giving me errors are hardlinks, but I cant imagine all
of them are.
Im running rdiff-backup locally on the mirror host getting data over SSH from
two remote sources. I get this error from both sets of backups. I have an
unprivileged user (rdiff-backup) doing the backup.
Any ideas?
I really appreciate the help.
Lucas

Hey There,
Im trying to verify my backups but it seems like rdiff-backup isnt keeping
SHA1 data to compare my files. Either that or Im totally missing something
(entirely possible).
When I do a --verify I get the following error for what seems like every file
(the cron email I get is 8MB):
Warning: Cannot find SHA1 digest for file xxx,
perhaps because this feature was added in v1.1.1
Hi Lucas,
What is an example file that this happens with? More importantly, what is the
type of that file? Is it a hardlink?
eg, please send:
ls -l /path/to/xxx
file /path/to/xxx
Also, what is the backup configuration you are using? (how are you running
rdiff-backup?)
Andrew
