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

[Golden Butler]

I'm still relatively a newbie to linux even though I've been using it for almost two years, so excuse me for the ignorance.  What is "strace", and how would I be able to use to track down this segfault problem?

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?
    

I have been using rdiff-backup for years on many different machines and
scenarios and never had it segfault. I don't understand where that is
coming from. If rdiff-backup crashes it generates the typical python
stack trace. Where exactly is this segfault coming from? maybe its time
to get out strace
