[rdiff-backup-users] rdiff stopped working after I ran out of disk space.

[Tom Versluys]

Hello,

I have a rdiff script that automatically makes a backup every night.
Because I didn't check the hard drive space every time,, I ran out of disk 
space.

Now I have cleared some space, but rdiff doesn't work anymore.

Now I get this :

/home
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/rdiff-backup", line 23, in ?
    rdiff_backup.Main.Main(sys.argv[1:])

    self.set_ownership(subdir)

    tmp_rp.touch()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/rpath.py", line 817, in 
touch
    self.conn.open(self.path, "w").close()
IOError: [Errno 5] Input/output error: 
'/MSA20/1T46/planning/home/rdiff-backup-data/rdiff-backup.tmp.11/foo'

Any suggestions on how to solve this ?
