I am running rdiff-backup as root indeed, both locally in the server and in the laptop that I back up over SSH, as aside of my home directories I also back up some system directories. A bit of find sorcery (find -printf "%b %p\n" | sort -nr) tells me the biggest file under my laptop's home directory is under 2 GB, so those 14 should be plenty, but I still tried custom temp directories under /home and /backups, to no avail. /backups has more free space than I said earlier because I deleted some old increments just in case. For whatever it's worth, I also tried writing to /backups and checked its SMART status with smartctl, found nothing fishy. I also ran "dumpe2fs -h" to make sure there were free inodes, as I found suggested elsewhere. > what is the output of > > $ df -h > > some filesystems reserve space for root, but if you are running this > command as root that should not be the problem. > > andrew > > > _______________________________________________ > 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 _______________________________________________ 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
