[rdiff-backup-users] Re: Uh-oh, IOError in 1.0.0, oh, no!

[Jonathan W. Smith]

Sorry, I must have misread the instructions. I reinstated the most recent
mirror file.

I ran 'zcat -t' and removed corrupted zip files until it completed without a
corrupted file report.

I then ran rdiff-backup again and it seem to run okay.

Thanks for the help.

The FAQ workaround doesn't tell you to move _both_ current_mirror
files.

I think I suggested checking out your mirror_metadata files.  Since
they are gzipped you could zcat them and see if which one(s) have
gotten corrupted.
