Hi Chris,

/etc/cron.daily/backup: UpdateError nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs/clnt6/info
Updated mirror temp file
/bak/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs/clnt6/rdiff-backup.tmp.52 does not
match source UpdateError nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs/clnt7/info
... and it doesn't go away by itself, I have *exactly* the same errors
today.
On looking harder at it I realised *why* it won't go away. The "does
not match" errors are coming from /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs
directories and I'm backing up to, guess what, a remote NFS mounted
drive so the files in question really *are* changing during the backup.
I want to back up /var/lib so this is a problem.
All I need is a way to make the error messages go away so a successful
backup is silent.
Try --exclude-other-filesystems or --exclude /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs
There's no reason to back up an rpc_pipefs because you wouldn't want to
restore it. Same for /proc, /sys, etc.
Cheers, Chris.
