Hi John,
I have made a fix in CVS so that rdiff-backup won't crash in this
case. If you wish to test the fix yourself, simply replace the
rorpiter.py file (in Python's site-packages/rdiff-backup/ directory)
with the one I have attached to this email. The issue that crashed
rdiff-backup for you is harmless; with the patch I put in CVS, we
might be able to get a better look at what's going wrong.
However, this problem already indicates that something is probably
wrong with your underlying filesystem, which is reinforced by the
error message "Attempt to rename over same inode" -- What type of
filesystem is /mnt/rdiff_backup? What mount options are you using?
Does running fsck on it return any errors?
