Hi,
I tried to register twice on librsync list but it didn't want to accept my
confirmation...
Anyway, I was having a lot of UpdateErrors with rdiff-backup on
Gentoo Linux/powerpc. On x86, works great. Simply touching the
file (i.e. changing its timestamps) can lead to these errors.
When I added a fprintf to help debugging, I found that the addition
of the fprintf "solves" magically the problem.
I relaxed the optimization and even try with -O0 but I never
got it able to work. I tried with both gcc 3.3.3 and 3.4. I will
probably install gcc 2.95 to try out...
Any clue?
bash-2.05b# diff -u buf.c.orig buf.c.fprintf
--- buf.c.orig 2004-07-11 17:34:56.000000000 -0400
+++ buf.c.fprintf 2004-07-11 17:34:56.000000000 -0400
< at > < at > -206,6 +206,8 < at > < at >
int got;
FILE *f = (FILE *) arg;
+ fprintf(stderr, "yo\n");
+
if (fseek(f, pos, SEEK_SET)) {
rs_log(RS_LOG_ERR, "seek failed: %s", strerror(errno));
return RS_IO_ERROR;
