A work around or way to protect against this is to create an appropriate sized blank file in the backup partition. I usually create a 1GB blank file:
dd if=/dev/zero of=EmptyFile bs=1M count=1000 Then when the backup fails just delete the blank file and run the backup again. The added benefit of doing this is that it gives you a soft limit and some time to re-organise your drives/partitions. (Speaking of which it's about time for me to do just that) Cheers Gavin John Soros wrote: > Here (attached) is a quick fix i applied to rdiff-backup so i didn't have to > start the backup all over, my disk got full and we are (unfortunately) still > not using lvm. > I am not sure as to the cleanliness of the patch, but it seems to be working > fine, hopefully this can be helpful, as i think having a disk full with rdiff- > backup is a PITA... > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > rdiff-backup-users mailing list at [email protected] > http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users > Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
