Because /run is a tmpfs to contain only ephemeral runtime information. If you back it up, you are backing up useless junk that won't even be seen after the restore and just waste disk space since the tmpfs will be mounted over it at boot. Your backups should use --one-file-system to make sure they stay out of things like /run, /proc, /sys, /dev. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225361 Title: .gvfs can't be stat'd by root causing backup tools to fail To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/225361/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
