[Rdiff-backup-bugs] [sr #106623] Error during backup: [Errno 36] File name too long:

[Normand Robert]

Follow-up Comment #1, sr #106623 (project rdiff-backup):

NOT A BUG please close.

Looking at my cmd history shows that I mistyped a command which likely caused
this problem (see below) and ended up with a zillion level deep directory
dasx/dasx/ etc most likely because the backup was stored where the source for
the backup is located.

history | grep rdiff
  484  yum -y install rdiff-backup
  581  rdiff-backup /spare dasx:/spare/backups
  582  rdiff-backup /spare dasx;:/spare/backups
  583  rdiff-backup /spare dasx::/spare/backups

I removed the offending dasx directory on the source side and erased the
backup on the remote host and ran the backup command again without problems.
