[rdiff-backup-users] IOError: [Errno 35] Resource deadlock avoided

[Dave Kempe]

Hi people,
When I run a backup (V 10.1) backing up a samba share to a mounted
firewire disk it works fine aside from some files that seem to be in use
on the server.
When i start the backup again immediately it seems happy to skip on past
the in use files and keep backing up. Is there a way I can get it to
skip anyway - just not backup files that are in use but get most of the
source system anyway?


Here is the full output:

Here is what it says next time I run the backup...

I also wrote a (probably very bad) script to mount and unmount the
firewire as needed - if anyone wants something like that I am happy to
post it here.

Thanks,

Dave
