Subject: Bug#252664: rdiff-backup: gives truckloads of exception tracebacks
Package: rdiff-backup
Version: 0.13.3.jgoerzen-3
Severity: normal
Hi,
when doing my first backup, I said --exclude /proc instead of
--exclude proc. After correcting this and re-invoking rdiff-backup,
the second backup run gave about 30 Klines of output like this:
|Processing changed file proc/9989/task/9989/attr/fscreate
|Exception '[Errno 22] Invalid argument' raised of class 'exceptions.IOError':
| File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/robust.py", line 32, in check_common_error
| try: return function(*args)
| File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/rpath.py", line 96, in copy
| if rpin.isreg(): copy_reg_file(rpin, rpout, compress)
| File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/rpath.py", line 118, in copy_reg_file
| rpout.write_from_fileobj(rpin.open("rb"), compress = compress)
| File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/rpath.py", line 934, in write_from_fileobj
| copyfileobj(fp, outfp)
| File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/rpath.py", line 58, in copyfileobj
| inbuf = inputfp.read(blocksize)
| File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/rpath.py", line 1145, in read
| def read(self, length = -1): return self.file.read(length)
| File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/iterfile.py", line 417, in read
| def read(self, l=-1): raise self.exc
|
|UpdateError proc/9989/task/9989/attr/fscreate [Errno 22] Invalid argument
Having a backup program raising unhandled exceptions is quite
disturbing. Please consider properly handling this case.
Greetings
Marc
