35 I'll delete the file(s) (its just one of numerous dated backups)
36
37 No event I can put it down to, nothing I can find in the logs - just
38 happens on an irregular basis!

40 Its btrfs using compress=LZO on an LVM2 partition after running a few
41 dirvish multiple backup sessions. Note that as I said in my original
42 email, "dirvish" really hammers a file system and only reiserfs seems to
43 withstand it though I have gotten errors with it in the past. Ive tried
44 ext4 (takes only a couple of backup sessions and its unrecoverable,
45 btrfs an occasional error with two complete losses of the
46 partition/filesystem since Christmas and reiserfs gets rare errors.
47
48 Note that hardware and other items have been changed over time so I
49 doubt its a specific problem there.

51 Not quite there yet ...
