I got tired of rebooting to run my backups once a week and so I installed a 32bit chroot edgy (6.10) install as a workaround. The backup appears to be running now with no ill effects. Just wanted to leave a quick note here in case anyone needs/wants to do this. I specifically installed fuse into the chroot, as the bug report above seemed to indicate that is where the problem is. Although now that I think about it, a 32 bit userland that has to talk to a 64 bit kernel could be problematic... I will report back if I find any problems.
I started with the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575 After running debootstrap, I more or less did the following (from memory): # copied sources.list from gutsy in a non chroot shell into chroot environment sed -i -e 's/gutsy/edgy/g' /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update apt-get install language-pack-en-base apt-get upgrade mount -t proc proc /proc apt-get install encfs rsync openssh-client -- rsync timestamp bug on encfs/fuse https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/81080 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
