Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Result too large [Errno 34] on OS X

[Jake Meier]

Sorry it's taken me more than a week to close the loop on this.  Thanks for the -v6 advice Andrew, this did indeed show which file it was failing on.  Interestingly, it was a printer driver, and the file size was quite small.  I've added an exclude for this and figured that I'd debug further if I see the issue again.  For now, just excluding this driver will suffice.  Thanks.

Hi,

I would try running rdiff-backup with "-v6" which should indicate which
file it is working on before it fails.

Secondly, what type of filesystem is /Volumes/Backups/ ?
