Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Socket error: AF_UNIX path too long

[devzero]

Hello !

I added --exclude-sockets to the commandline:

rdiff-backup --exclude-sockets -v5 --preserve-numerical-ids 
/backup/rdiff-repo-path  /local-dir-2backup

and now i got even more errors:

this happens with rdiff-backup 1.1.5

looks like a bug !?!? - or - did i make a mistake here?
