today's backup gave me the following message: Warning: Attempt to rename over same inode: /mnt/sdb1/backup/some/path/rdiff-backup.tmp.3491 to /mnt/sdb1/backup/some/path/some_filename Is it something I need to worry about?
Hi Patrick,Yes, you should worry about this. It indicates that the directory /mnt/ sdb1/backup/some/path/ has duplicate inodes.
If you do `ls -li` in that directory, it will list the inode numbers. IIRC, the inode number for "some_filename" will be duplicated in that list.
A good e2fsck will hopefully sort that out. Check the mailing list archives for more information, as I recall a recent problem like this.
good luck, Andrew
