Did a fsck on the entire filesystem, no fix. They are from any rsync or rsyncd operation. I don't know what you mean by from remote rsync. Is that an application or are you talking about the protocol? I think I'm missing some kind of related understanding here. Les Mikesell wrote: > On 8/9/201

Naw, the excluding is working just fine. Those files popping up aren't excluded. In one case they were, but I fixed that; it was just one entry which was broken. Les Mikesell wrote: > On 8/9/2010 12:27 PM, Saturn2888 wrote: > > > Logs are now anywhere from 16MB to 30MB. The problem is only gro

Logs are now anywhere from 16MB to 30MB. The problem is only growing, and I don't know why. If those are rsync errors, why am I seeing them only since the upgrade to Lucid? In parts of my findings, they're benign, but the log sizes being that large even compressed is pretty scary since they were

fsck finished with no problems. Here's what it is, those errors are coming up when they should not. The specific case I was looking at, I had rsync exclude some directories and recently changed it thinking it wasn't excluding them (oops). So the errors shouldn't have even appeared in the first p

I don't think the RAM is bad, but I can do a check on it. The directories no longer exist but I swear they had to have. After a lot of observation, it's creating new directories and after 2 full backups, the errors stop (duh, because it's not looking back an extra full backup when rsyncing). I a

Not gigabytes, it was megabytes, but after searching this, either those files never did get backed up or something else happened to them. Strangely, even through all of this the pool size has only grown 3GB since I first turned it on again. I'm very confused. Missing files should lower the tota
