Can somebody please explain what this error message means?
UpdateError mnt/main8/var/log/syslog/hosts/site Updated mirror temp file remotehost/mnt/main8/var/log/syslog/hosts/rdiff-backup.tmp.8 does not match source
UpdateError mnt/main8/var/log/syslog/hosts/host Updated mirror temp file remotehost/mnt/main8/var/log/syslog/hosts/rdiff-backup.tmp.9 does not match source
The error is probably caused by files changing as rdiff-backup
processes them. If this happens, rdiff-backup doesn't touch the file
for the session, leaving it as it was previously. See
http://rdiff-backup.stanford.edu/error_policy.html for more
information.
You could just ignore these errors, and assume that rdiff-backup will
eventually find the file not changing under it. Another, possibly
more principled, option is to use LVM snapshots or something similar
(I have no experience with these though).
