Details:
I am using rdiff backup to backup a big shared volume (~500GB). One night
the backup failed due to networking issues, and when I restarted it, I got
the message about "last backup failed, cleaning up".
Some time later, the cleanup failed, indicating it was out of space. My /tmp
directory only has about 8GB of free space, and apparently whatever cleanup it
was doing required much more space than that.
It seems like a bug that cleaning up a failed backup requires much more /tmp
space than actually doing a backup (I can run the backups fine from the
remote machine to a mounted volume on my target system). Perhaps just an
option to point rdiff backup to a different place for temorary space would be
sufficient.
Thanks for a great piece of software
