Re: [rdiff-backup-users] "Device not configured" Error on OS X

[Aaron Davies]

Hi, can anyone give me a hand with this? I'm still getting the same  
error when I try to back up /, and I'm completely stumped. All I can  
figure out is that given the filenames at the very bottom, it's  
occurring while rdiff-backup tries to collect its internal backup info  
(diffs, etc.).
