I'm having trouble with rdiff-backup crashing. It claims there's "No space left on device", which is patently false. The drive is a 2TB drive that's 66% free when rdiff-backup is running:
The full output from rdiff-backup is below. Please let me know if you have advice or if I can provide more useful information.
FWIW, this is a backup over SSH between two computers on the same ethernet network. Both computers are running Kubuntu 13.10, and the remote drive is formatted as btrfs. The initial backup appeared to go smoothly, but every subsequent backup attempt has failed. "--check-destination-dir" fails with the same message.
Thanks.
