Post IOError: [Errno 75] Value too large for defined data type 
Hi,

I'm new at using rdiff-backup but already fascinated with the simple principle.
Hope it will not stop to be maintained.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04, installed the rdiff-backup 1.2.8 and tried
to backup 80GB of pictures and movies using to USB external drives
with NTFS, at around 30GB, it stopped with following error:

IOError: [Errno 75] Value too large for defined data type

Search through the rdiff-backup-users Archives but couldn't find
any cue to solve the problem.

Search the net for similar information and it seems to be related with
python version before 2.2 and presently I'm using 2.6.5.
Follow some version information.

<<<
$ python --version
Python 2.6.5
$ rsync --version
rsync version 3.0.7 protocol version 30
$ dpkg -l | grep rsync
ii librsync1 0.9.7-7
rsync remote-delta algorithm library
ii rsync 3.0.7-1ubuntu1.1
fast remote file copy program (like rcp)

Thank you for your time.

Post IOError: [Errno 75] Value too large for defined data type 
Hi Bruno,

Since I am using FAT32 to backup from Ubuntu EXT3 (EXT4) with some success I
will comment without much hard knowledge hoping that some more people will
have more to say.

I suppose you want to use NTFS for backup in order to at the same time produce
MSWin compatible files. If not, just reformat your USB into EXT3 or 4. (and my
further comments are superfluos)

Since there seems to be less experience using rdiff-backup on MSWin and since
FAT32 is a less complex and hopefully more secure filesystem than NTFS for
Linux use I chose to backup to a FAT32 disk in order to simultaneously get
MSWin-compatible files.

I do employ some precautions regarding file naming and some special care at
rdiff-backup use. I have earlier posted questions touching these problems that
may be similar to yours (on FAT32, though) but may be avoided, so far, by
using

rdiff-backup --no-hard-links \
--override-chars-to-quote '"*/:<>?\\|;' \
$source $fat32usb

but I do not understand fully how it functions - se further my earlier post at

http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/rdiff-backup-users/2011-04/msg00013.html

that yet nobody did respond to!

Hope somebody knows more on this topic!

Tore

IOError: [Errno 75] Value too large for defined data type


Search through the rdiff-backup-users Archives but couldn't find
any cue to solve the problem.

Search the net for similar information and it seems to be related with
python version before 2.2 and presently I'm using 2.6.5.
Follow some version information.

<<<
$ python --version
Python 2.6.5
$ rsync --version
rsync version 3.0.7 protocol version 30
$ dpkg -l | grep rsync
ii librsync1 0.9.7-7
rsync remote-delta algorithm library
ii rsync 3.0.7-1ubuntu1.1
fast remote file copy program (like rcp)


Thank you for your time.

Post IOError: [Errno 75] Value too large for defined data type 
Bruno:

Do you need to use NTFS for the external drive? I suggest you try again
using a Linux format such as ext3 and see if you have more success. My
impression is that a high proportion of problems with rdiff-backup
relate to backups to NTFS volumes (backup *from* NTFS generally works fine).

Hi,

I'm new at using rdiff-backup but already fascinated with the simple principle.
Hope it will not stop to be maintained.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04, installed the rdiff-backup 1.2.8 and tried
to backup 80GB of pictures and movies using to USB external drives
with NTFS, at around 30GB, it stopped with following error:

IOError: [Errno 75] Value too large for defined data type
Search through the rdiff-backup-users Archives but couldn't find
any cue to solve the problem.

Search the net for similar information and it seems to be related with
python version before 2.2 and presently I'm using 2.6.5.
Follow some version information.

<<<
$ python --version
Python 2.6.5
$ rsync --version
rsync version 3.0.7 protocol version 30
$ dpkg -l | grep rsync
ii librsync1 0.9.7-7
rsync remote-delta algorithm library
ii rsync 3.0.7-1ubuntu1.1
fast remote file copy program (like rcp)
Thank you for your time.

Post IOError: [Errno 75] Value too large for defined data type 
My
impression is that a high proportion of problems with rdiff-backup
relate to backups to NTFS volumes (backup *from* NTFS generally works
fine).


Second that. If there is no unix file system available, fat32 is also an option.

Hi,

I'm new at using rdiff-backup but already fascinated with the simple
principle.
Hope it will not stop to be maintained.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04, installed the rdiff-backup 1.2.8 and tried
to backup 80GB of pictures and movies using to USB external drives
with NTFS, at around 30GB, it stopped with following error:

IOError: [Errno 75] Value too large for defined data type
Search through the rdiff-backup-users Archives but couldn't find
any cue to solve the problem.

Search the net for similar information and it seems to be related
with
python version before 2.2 and presently I'm using 2.6.5.
Follow some version information.

<<<
$ python --version
Python 2.6.5
$ rsync --version
rsync version 3.0.7 protocol version 30
$ dpkg -l | grep rsync
ii librsync1 0.9.7-7
rsync remote-delta algorithm library
ii rsync 3.0.7-1ubuntu1.1
fast remote file copy program (like
rcp)
Thank you for your time.

Post IOError: [Errno 75] Value too large for defined data type 
BTW, I see open source utility Ext2Read
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/ allows a Windows machine to
read and copy from Ext2/3/4 (including using LVM2) filesystems.

My
impression is that a high proportion of problems with rdiff-backup
relate to backups to NTFS volumes (backup *from* NTFS generally works
fine).

Second that. If there is no unix file system available, fat32 is also an option.

Hi,

I'm new at using rdiff-backup but already fascinated with the simple
principle.
Hope it will not stop to be maintained.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04, installed the rdiff-backup 1.2.8 and tried
to backup 80GB of pictures and movies using to USB external drives
with NTFS, at around 30GB, it stopped with following error:

<<<
$ rdiff-backup -v9 --print-statistics --no-hard-links

Mon May 9 22:23:34 2011 Found interrupted initial backup.
