[rdiff-backup-users] errno 22 during backup

[Antonio Piccolboni]

Hi, I've been doing disk to disk backups with rdiff-backup for a while.  
The command I am using is


 	rdiff-backup -v5 --exclude /home/piccolbo/tmp --exclude /media --exclude  
/proc --exclude /mnt / /mnt/hdb1/mirror/  > /root/rdiff-backup.log 2>&1


An exerpt of the log is the following.  My guess is that this started when  
I went to FC3 (Athlon), but I am not sure. I actually get 54 Errno 22


Exception '[Errno 22] Invalid argument' raised of class  
'exceptions.IOError':

I also get    1760 of these

but I guess that just means I shouldn't be backing up /sys in the first  
place
(too bad, my phylosophy of life is: if it's useful back it up; if it's  
not, delete; in doubt, assume it's useful)

Thanks


Antonio


PS: I searched the archives for an errno 22 message, but what I found  
seemed specific to cygwin
