Backup Central

Hi all,

Using rdiff-backup with some large files (>4 Gb) I get the following error:

UpdateError <filename> librsync error 107 while in patch cycle

Googling around I found out that it may be an error with librsync 9.7. Can you
confirm this? And does a patch exist?

Regards,

Gerard

Ok, some more on this bug. It seems rsync-backup successfully completes
the backup, but still generates this error. I compared the MD5 sums of
both the original file and the backup and they are identical.

I added the complete backtrace of the error here:

rdiff-backup seems just to be reporting the error 107 given to it by
librsync. I've read a few threads on this, but no one was able to
figure it out.

If you want to get to the bottom of this, you could try making sure
the error is reproduceable. Then you could use 'rdiff' to perform the
relevant patching/diffing/signing operations without rdiff-backup, to
see if the problem had anything to do with rdiff-backup.
