#158 restore: : ftruncate: Invalid argument

[Rumex]

Since upgrading from Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04 I noticed restore has been suggesting it cannot restore all the files intended to be captured by dump.

I am seeing output from restore along the lines of
restore: ./tigi/.cache/dconf/user: ftruncate: Invalid argument

I took the dump using an LVM2 snapshot and restored against the same snapshot 3 minutes later.

28/6/2012 rumex: I restored to /mnt/restoredFs and performed a diff -r /snapshop /mnt/restoredFs. The diff found no differences. I would cautiously assume that this error message is potentially only annoying.

It's not completely obvious to me whether this was restore -C testing or not but the error of calling ftruncate on a non-file when testing with restore -C was fixed in 2016.

Closed assuming this is a long fixed restore -C bug. I have not encounted this problem during the 0.4b48 testing at all.
