[rdiff-backup-users] librsync errors while running a backup

[Jason Faulkner]

Hi, we use rdiff-backup to run our backups here. Thank you so much, it's
a great software product.

However, we have been recieving errors frequently of this nature:

python2.3: ERROR: (rs_job_iter) internal error: job made no progress
[orig_in=131058, orig_out=65536, final_in=131058, final_out=65536]
UpdateError dbdump/ica-db1/ica/opens.txt librsync error 107 while in
patch cycle

(later on)

python2.3: ERROR: (rs_job_iter) internal error: job made no progress
[orig_in=1, orig_out=65536, final_in=1,final_out=65536]
UpdateError dbdump/ica-db1/ica/substatus_a.txt librsync error 107 while
in patch cycle


My first instict was that this was because the files are so big, but we
have files that are much,. much larger that don't fail. Also, a weird
thing that's happening is that the substatus_a.txt file doesn't change.
Ever. It's a dump of a read-only mysql table.

We are using rdiff-backup version 0.13.4-5 on Debian Sarge.

Thanks for any suggestions.
