My memory is slightly fuzzy, but I think that rdiff-backup stores things in /tmp, particularly when regressing failed backups. I ran into symptoms similar to yours when using rdiff-backup on NetBSD 5 (i386) backing up a large (500G used out of most of 2T) filesystem onto a 2T external drive. All filesystems were ffs (UFS2). But /tmp on my system is a mere 1GB, using tmpfs (stores in virtual memory). I think I set TMPDIR=/path/on/huge/real/disk/tmp and then was able to do the regress. _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
