Re: [rdiff-backup-users] RDIFF-F!CKUP (Very frusttrated)

[Golden Butler]

Dave and Marteen,

The iomega device I'm using is not formatted as FAT32.  It's partitioned and formatted as reiserfs.  Is this filesystem type not recommended?  Also, I did upgrade rdiff-backup to version 1.0.1 with the same results.   It seems like something fundamental that I'm missing but I can't figure it out.  I really appreciate your guys input.  Any more suggestions of advice?

greatly appreciated.
    

Where you using FAT32 on this drive? I don't think rdiff-backup doesn't
work on FAT32. I suggest you use ext3. If you need to be able to read
ext3 on windows there is an excellent ext3 driver for xp and 2000 i think

thanks
