[Safekeep-devel] Rdiff-backup stuck during backup

[Jan Š. <sk...@js...>]

Hello,

I am using safekeep for filesystem backup through rdiff-backup. The 
backup process however often hangs in the middle of a file (different 
file every time) for some servers. With '-v6' option log contains:

 > ...
> Processing changed file srv/mapcache/cz/bku_orto1.db
> Regular copying ('srv', 'mapcache', 'cz', 'bku_orto1.db') to/disk0/backup/cache2.geo--cache/srv/mapcache/cz/rdiff-backup.tmp.5

The file:
> -rw-rw-r-- 1 boris mapcache 4.5G Dec  2  2014 /srv/mapcache/cz/bku_orto1.db
Resulting tmp file:
> -rw------- 1 safekeep nogroup 1.4G Aug 14 15:31 rdiff-backup.tmp.5

According to strace, all processes (safekeep and rdiff-backup) are 
waiting for input through some pipe. I use trickle and almost default 
configuration of safekeep (just backup.user and base.dir set).

Does anyone have an idea how to debug or fix this problem?

Thank you!
