Dear Helmut,
the change in the /etc/fstab did not change the situation: I still get
snapshots of essentially the same size for all machines except my local
rsnapshot "server".
Any suggestions/ideas what to check next?
sincerely, Ruedi

Dear Helmut,
rsnapshot runs on one machine - my main machine - and the snapshots are
stored on an external 1TB USB disk mounted on this main machine. The
connection to the remote machines is via rsync/ssh.
Your questions inspired me to take a look at /etc/mtab:
The line for the USB disk reads
/dev/sdc1 /data1 ext3 rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,acl,user_xattr 0 0
this seemed unusual when compared to the internal disks and I changed
fstab to include the attributes user,exec,dev,suid
/etc/mtab now reads as follows:
/dev/sdc1 /data1 ext3 rw,acl,user_xattr 0 0
Maybe that fixed it? I will give it a try and let you know.
Would you expect rsnapshot to behave the way it did, given the mtab
entries on my main machine?
Sincerely -Ruedi

Hallo, Rudolf,
Du meintest am 19.02.10:
running rsnapshot on my local Linux machine I get an initial large
snapshot and all subsequent snapshots are small. This is the result
of running "sudo rsnapshot du". So far everything is as expected.
For remote Linux boxes, however, all snapshots have the same size!
Where runs "rsnapshot"? Does it get the backup files and store it on the
main machine, or does it put the backup files to the resp. remote box?
How are the remote boxes connected to the main machine: rsync, nfs,
samba?
If rsnapshot has to write on the remote box: what file system? (vfat,
ext2/ext3, reiser, ...)
Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
