Re: [rdiff-backup-users] error 107

[Clint Silvester]

I should have mentioned I'm running on 0.9.7 of librsync. :)
Another thing I should clarify.  The second run of these backups takes 
forever.  I could see the first run taking a long time since it's 
copying huge amounts of data, but I thought since it's only going to be 
sending differences (or maybe that's what's wrong here) it should be 
much faster.  In fact, it took less time to do the initial backup than 
it did for the second one.  I started another backup yesterday morning 
to see how long it takes, and it's not done now 26 hours later.  Here is 
what I'm getting:

python: ERROR: (rs_job_iter) internal error: job made no progress 
[orig_in=129238, orig_out=65536, final_in=129238, final_out=65536]
UpdateError TWDOCS2001.adm librsync error 107 while in patch cycle

(Sorry, I sent this directly back to you.  Thought a reply would go back 
to the list.)
