1 Hi guys!
2
3 When trying to back up my system with rdiff-backup (everything except proc,
4 tmp, mnt, media and distfiles) I get a lot of errors like this:
5
6 "UpdateError sys/block/sda/range Updated mirror temp
7 file /backup/gentoo64/sys/block/sda/rdiff-backup.tmp.709 does not match
8 source"
9
10 or
11
12 "ListError sys/block/sr0/uevent [Errno 13] Permission
13 denied: '/sys/block/sr0/uevent'"
14
15 and some
16
17 "UpdateError sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:11.0/resource0 [Errno 5]
18 Input/output error"
19
20 In the end there are 480 erros, all concerning /sys.
21 Should I even try to backup sys? Is it important for rebuilding the system
22 after rm -rf / ?
23
24 Thanks in advance,
25 Florian Philipp
