Re: [rdiff-backup-users] rdiff-backup failed: error 31

Are you sure the source filesystem is error-free?  This error seems to be rarely seen with rdiff-backup so I suspect something unusual in your setup.

Thanks, but that did not work. I still got the same error.

Hi

I'm trying to get a backup of a 3TB partition and it failed with this 
error

Exception '[Errno 31] Too many links:
'/rdiff/newarsvrfs01/htdocs/chase.archinetonline.com/chasedata/project_89381'' 

raised of class 'exceptions.OSError':

This has been working ok for a while and then we had a problem with the
RAID being degrated. we fixed the raid issue and the backups never
worked again. I have even tried to do a fresh backup on a new
partition/location but we get the same error

any ideas what the problem could be? we havent changed anything on our
backup server.

PS: Im using rdiff-backup 1.2.8

Try running rdiff-backup with --no-eas option (unless you need 
extended attributes), and see if this helps.
