Hello,
I'm hoping that someone with more rdiff-backup / python experience can help me figure this out. I have a backup of my root filesystem that I am trying to restore. But the restore fails while trying to remove a non-empty directory... I have tried rdiff-backup 1.28 from Centos stable branch and also 1.33 built from source. Same scenario for both. I don't care about the data, just trying to figure out the issue with rdiff-backup.
The command is this:
rdiff-backup --terminal-verbosity 9 --force --exclude-globbing-filelist /tmp/excludelist -r 1266948364 /root/snapshots /
In the exclude list are typical things like /dev, /tmp, /proc, and of course the directory containing the snapshot. There are no NFS mounts involved or anything like that. All is local. What's odd is that the directory it is trying to remove is nothing special. I was able to manually remove it just fine:
[root < at > bptest rdiff-backup-1.3.3]# rm -r /cluster/shadow/db/acdmis/run/
rm: descend into directory `/cluster/shadow/db/acdmis/run/'? y
rm: remove regular file `/cluster/shadow/db/acdmis/run//navigator.pid'? y
rm: remove directory `/cluster/shadow/db/acdmis/run/'? y
See below, the snippet from the verbose console leading up to the error and then the error itself:

[root < at > bptest rdiff-backup-1.3.3]# ls /cluster/shadow/db/acdmis/run/

So python is correct, the directory is not empty. But why does cause an error? Looking for any thoughts / suggestions!
Thanks,
Chris
