[rdiff-backup-users] --carbonfile and NFS on OS X

[Andrew Berry]

Hi,

I'm attempting to back up a volume to a locally mounted NFS share on  
an OS X 10.5 server. The server is running Solaris with ZFS. If I pass  
--no-carbonfile to rdiff-backup, the backup proceeds normally.  
Otherwise, I get the exception at the end of this message. It's not  
clear what attributes I'm missing out on by skipping carbonfile  
support; is it something I need to worry about? Or, if I switch to  
backing up to the same volume over SSH, will rdiff-backup encode the  
carbonfile attributes as needed?

I'm not subscribed to the list, so please CC me on any replies.

Thanks!
