[rdiff-backup-users] read only file system error

[Mark Jorgensen]

Hey there,

 

Our rdiff-backup was working fine until a couple days ago when we started getting a read only file system error.  It is not read only, so I’m not sure why it’s complaining or what has caused this.  Here is the error:

 

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 285, in Main

    take_action(rps)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 255, in take_action

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

    return FSAbilities(desc_string).init_readwrite(

    subdir.mkdir()

  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/rpath.py", line 796, in mkdir

    self.conn.os.mkdir(self.path)

OSError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/mnt/usb2/devastator/var/rdiff-backup-data/rdiff-backup.tmp.0'

 

Any ideas would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,
