[rdiff-backup-users] rdiff says i/o error

[Eric Beversluis]

I don't understand the following. Can someone help me? 

The rdiff-backups were made on a fedora 17 machine. Last week I copied
the latest versions to a Ubuntu 12.04 machine I was using while the
other was out of commission. Tonight I tried to do an update to the
rdiff-backup files from the Ubuntu machine, to move the files back to
the fedora machine, which has been updated, and I'm getting the result
indicated below. A previous attempt resulted in "IOError: [Errno 30]
Read-only file system" along with lots of python stuff, but this time I
didn't get the "read only file system error."

Previous backup seems to have failed, regressing destination now.
