2006-07-11 Thread Robert Waldner
Hi! One of my users every now and then manages to create files with CR and/or LF in the name, and BackupPC is stopped dead in its tracks, as it relies on proper line-by-line output from the rsyncp module. For now I just hunt down the file in question, rename it and restart the backup, but in

[BackupPC-users] Unable to link errors and fix??

2006-07-11 Thread John Villalovos
Searching through the email archives it seems that it is a known issue that BackupPC will exceed the hard link count specified as a maximum. And then I got the impression that there is a yet as unreleased version which fixes this. Is it possible to get this fix? Because I have hit 31999 hardlinks
