Dear List, I was moving from dejavu (on my Ubuntu machine) to rdiff-backup, because it seemed to have finer granularity for restoring actions. Unfortunately I tried to back my system up the second time now, but it aborted with an error. This is my setup: sudo losetup /dev/loop0 backup_file sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/loop0 container sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/mapper/container /media/homeuser/encryptedmount Then I start the backup with rdiff-backup: sudo rdiff-backup /home/homeuser/ /media/homeuser/encryptedmount/home/ After a while the system freezes until I unplug the external drive, where the backup goes to, with the following error message: homeuser@laptop:~$ sudo rdiff-backup /home/homeuser/ /media/homeuser/encryptedmount/home/ Exception '[Errno 30] Read-only file system:
It could be hanging up trying to read (forever) from a socket file. Try using the "--exclude-sockets" option. The mounted filesystem becomes read-only because you unplugged the drive. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address. Do NOT delete it. _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
