[rdiff-backup-users] Re: [librsync-devel] librsync: ERROR: (rs_file_copy_cb) seek failed: Invalid argument

[Robert Weber]

My librsync is loaded dynamically, but I did try rebuilding rdiff-backup
with the -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE and the new librsync.   Still no luck.  This
error appears to affect the same files every time.  But as the mirror gets
further out of sync it snowballs.  For example, one of my mirrors has about
25million files.  When I discovered the erorr about 140thousand were out of
date.  After rsync'ing the files now there are about 23Thousand out of
sync.  This also happens on small files under i386 (linux and freebsd
clients)(linux servers) so I wonder if something else is happening.  Here
is an exerpt of -v9 for one of the bad files(/etc/hosts on a solaris 2.8
box):
