When running rdiff-backup to save data created under MS Windows, there's an error due to the name of the files: Exception 'AF_UNIX path too long' raised of class 'socket.error': File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/highlevel.py", line 302, in patch_increment_and_finalize ITR(index, diff_rorp, dsrp) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/lazy.py", line 288, in __call__ self.process_w_branch(branch, args) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/lazy.py", line 247, in process_w_branch branch.start_process, args) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/robust.py", line 254, in check_common_error try: return function(*args) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/increment.py", line 171, in start_process else: self.init_non_dir(dsrp, diff_rorp, incpref) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/increment.py", line 243, in init_non_dir RORPIter.patchonce_action(None, dsrp, diff_rorp)).execute()[0] File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/robust.py", line 84, in execute raise exc ------------ Old traceback info ----------- Exception 'AF_UNIX path too long' raised of class 'socket.error': File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/robust.py", line 76, in execute init_val = self.init_thunk() File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/robust.py", line 105, in init init_return_vals.append(ra.init_thunk()) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/robust.py", line 199, in init else: RPath.copy(rorpin, tf) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/rpath.py", line 78, in copy elif rpin.issock(): rpout.mksock() File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/rpath.py", line 607, in mksock self.conn.RPathStatic.make_socket_local(self) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/rpath.py", line 212, in make_socket_local s.bind(rpath.path) ------------------------------------------- Writing intermediate hard link data to disk Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/rdiff-backup", line 24, in ? rdiff_backup.Main.Main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 229, in Main take_action(rps) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 205, in take_action elif action == "backup": Backup(rps[0], rps[1]) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 262, in Backup HighLevel.Mirror_and_increment(rpin, rpout, incdir, RSI) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/highlevel.py", line 76, in Mirror_and_increment DestS.patch_increment_and_finalize(dest_rpath, diffiter, inc_rpath) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/highlevel.py", line 308, in patch_increment_and_finalize except: cls.handle_last_error(finished_dsrp, finalizer, ITR) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/highlevel.py", line 302, in patch_increment_and_finalize ITR(index, diff_rorp, dsrp) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/lazy.py", line 288, in __call__ self.process_w_branch(branch, args) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/lazy.py", line 247, in process_w_branch branch.start_process, args) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/robust.py", line 254, in check_common_error try: return function(*args) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/increment.py", line 171, in start_process else: self.init_non_dir(dsrp, diff_rorp, incpref) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/increment.py", line 243, in init_non_dir RORPIter.patchonce_action(None, dsrp, diff_rorp)).execute()[0] File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rdiff_backup/robust.py", line 84, in execute raise exc socket.error: AF_UNIX path too long This has been discussed on the rdisff-backup mailing list: http://mail.freesoftware.fsf.org/pipermail/rdiff-backup-users/2002-October/000013.html And they're proposing this patch: --- rpath.py~ Thu Sep 5 01:12:38 2002 +++ rpath.py Sun Sep 22 09:58:06 2002 @@ -209,7 +209,9 @@ """ assert rpath.conn is Globals.local_connection s = socket.socket(socket.AF_UNIX) - s.bind(rpath.path) + try: s.bind(rpath.path) + except socket.error, exc: + raise SkipFileException("Socket error: " + str(exc)) def gzip_open_local_read(rpath): """Return open GzipFile.

when you say 'proposing a patch' you mean 'theyre adding this patch' right ?
It says: "Try the attached patch." on the mailing list... I think they're going to fix this problem, at least I hope, and in the meanwhile, one has to apply the patch.
Hi, I've added the patch and a fixed ebuild to the CVS. Please allow for some time for your mirror to carry those and try them out. Please report any problems here. The new ebuild will is rdiff-backup-0.10.1-r1.ebuild
I had the similiar problem and finally I found solution: www.tooLongPath.com
