Re: [rdiff-backup-users] rdiff-backup detects that many files has changed - cifs mount

[Attila Strba]

Hi Markus,

Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately I was not able to solve the 
problem. Currently we arre running a daily full backup, and try to live 
with it (it takes 5 h instead of 3-5minutes). I guess it has to do with 
the Samba shares. I am still hoping that I can find a solution. If I 
can't find any prehaps I will move to Unison.

Greetings
Attila
