I tried to duplicate your failure, but rsync didn't fail for me. The above errors indicate that the keep_backup() function tried to rename the file into the backup dir, got an ENOENT error (which is the only time it tries to call make_bak_dir()) and the attempt to make the parent directory of the file failed with an EEXIST error (and then the errno got reset to 0 due to the outputting of the error message, a bug that I have fixed). Is it possible that the file rpcbind.file caused an ETXTBSY errno when rsync tried to rename it? The only way I can see the above happening is if the rename() call got ETXTBSY, tried to remove the destination file (which didn't exist), and then returned the ENOENT error from the unlink() instead of the ETXTBSY error from the rename(). That would lead to the above deceptive series of messages. I have fixed that too. Is the backup problem reproducible? If so, please try the latest nightly tar file (or git checkout) and see what error you get. ..wayne.. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
