[rdiff-backup-users] errno 17 - file exists error

[Mark Jorgensen]

Hey Folks,

 

I’m getting another rdiff-backup error that I’m not sure where it’s coming from:

 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/bin/rdiff-backup", line 23, in ?

    rdiff_backup.Main.Main(sys.argv[1:])

  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 286, in Main

    take_action(rps)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 256, in take_action

    elif action == "backup": Backup(rps[0], rps[1])

  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 297, in Backup

    dest_fsa = rpout.conn.fs_abilities.get_fsabilities_readwrite(

    subdir.mkdir()

  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/rpath.py", line 798, in mkdir

    self.conn.os.mkdir(self.path)

OSError: [Errno 17] File exists: '/mnt/rdiff-backups/var/rdiff-backup-data/rdiff-backup.tmp.0'

 

The command I’m using inside of cron is:

rdiff-backup --exclude-sockets /var /mnt/rdiff-backups/var;

 

That file, rdiff-backup.tmp.0 is not found in that directory, I’m not sure where it’s getting it from.

 

Thanks again,

Mark
