Hi @tverrbjelke , can you please give us some more info on the device and filesystem mounted at /mnt/drive. And is it otherwise healthy?

[anomaly256]

Hi @tverrbjelke, this does look like an issue with the underlying file system more than with rdiff-backup itself (OSError on directory creation). Were you able to find the cause of this issue? If you still believe it's an issue with rdiff-backup we will need to try to recreate it, or examine the backup files if you still have them. I'll keep this issue open for a while. If we don't hear back from you in a couple weeks we'll close it.

After more than one year, we can call it a day. Closing.
