Hi,
For the past few months, I've been using Rsnapshot to to do backups of /home and /etc to an external hard drive. It's worked well.
However, this week, it's started thrashing the hard drive, and appears to be making a 50GB backup (that's the size of the source, so an incremental backup will be much less) go on and on. When the 500GB target drive is half full, I intervene and kill the rsync process.
Well, I finally tracked it down to the following file
file:///home/bob/.kde4/share/apps/carddecks/svg-oxygen/79/5_diamond.png
which thought it was 900,000 TiB!!!
Using the --progress option in rsync found the culprit.
Bob
