You mean the /var/lib/aide/aide.db? # zcat /var/lib/aide/aide.db | wc 755240 21146627 442199792 The /var/lib/aide/aide.db after a failed one is always size 0. > Is 0.18.2-1 the only version you experience this behaviour or does > this error also occur with an older version? I've never encountered this before, but I did not work with the specific directory tree parallel to the AIDE run for at least 3 weeks before the this one. > Independently of the issue above, it might make sense to exclude this > directory. That's the work-around I'll put in place till you try something different. Best regards, Thomas -- 𝓣𝓱𝓸𝓶𝓪𝓼 𝓓𝓸𝓻𝓷𝓮𝓻
