[Bug 1875163] Re: rdiff-backup crashes when running backup
Had same problem. Got newer rdiff-backup which handles filesystem problem gracefully and then fixed said filesystem problem. I discovered that my root cron backup script which uses rdiff-backup had been failing for months for the same worrysome reason that rdiff-backup had a problem with a directory it was backing up as root. Confirmed running manually: ... File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/rdiff_backup/rpath.py", line 386, in make_file_dict statblock = os.lstat(filename) PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: b'/home/robert/.cache/doc' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/rdiff-backup", line 32, in rdiff_backup.Main.error_check_Main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 390, in error_check_Main .. I could not remove the empty directory as the owner or as root. As a workaround, I got a later version of rdiff-backup which continues "gracefully" after encountering the above problem. sudo apt -y install python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-pylibacl python3-pyxattr rdiff-backup --version sudo apt -y remove rdiff-backup sudo pip3 install rdiff-backup rdiff-backup --version rdiff-backup above is in /usr/local/bin After a few reboots + a manual fsck -V -f on the partition of interest (/home) which found nothing, rdiff-backup ran clean and I was finally able to remove the offending directory. I was expecting fsck to have run on the partition of concern at boot and fixed something but there is no evidence it ran.

[Bug 1875163] Re: rdiff-backup crashes when running backup
My apologies. I resolved this locally back in April but I forgot to come back here and update the ticket when I resolved the problem. This is a known bug that has been fixed in the rdiff-backup repo: https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/issues/310 The code was fixed way back in March, but it never made it into 20.04. Since the files that were causing the errors for me were all in /run, my fix was just to add /run to my list of excluded directories. That was an easy decision for me since I probably should have been excluding them anyway.

I'm also affected by this bug. It is many months later, but a recent update to some 20.04 package caused this to start happening.

[Bug 1875163] Re: rdiff-backup crashes when running backup
I modified get_indexpath() in log.py to catch a TypeError exception and return the string "TypeError" instead of aborting. It printed 4 errors: ListError: 'TypeError' [Errno 13] Permission denied: b'/run/user/1000/doc' ListError: 'TypeError' [Errno 13] Permission denied: b'/run/user/1000/gvfs' ListError: 'TypeError' [Errno 13] Permission denied: b'/run/user/1000/keybase/kbfs' ListError: 'TypeError' [Errno 13] Permission denied: b'/run/user/141/gvfs' I'm not really sure what's wrong with the first 3. Maybe they're odd because they're in /run? The final file does really look like it might be corrupted. At any rate it looks like the easy fix on my end is to exclude /run from my backups. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875163 Title: rdiff-backup crashes when running backup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rdiff-backup/+bug/1875163/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1875163] Re: rdiff-backup crashes when running backup
I'm afraid I don't know nearly enough Docker to be able to do that. But I do know Python. I just took a look at the code and I think I should be able to trap the TypeError exception pretty easily. I'm currently running `rdiff-backup --check-destination-dir` to undo the failed backup. Once that finishes I'll rerun the backup in the debugger and report back on what I find. Hopefully that will let me set up a simple test case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875163 Title: rdiff-backup crashes when running backup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rdiff-backup/+bug/1875163/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
