Re: Error messages

Hello,

The only temporary directory I can think of is /tmp, and it's not full.

I'm not sure which of two files is relevant, so I did getfattr on both, 
but found nothing:

# getfattr /sauvegarde/Windows10/Program\ Files/Just\ Great\ Software/
EditPad\ Lite\ 8/rdiff-backup.tmp.31889 
root@Debian13:~#

# getfattr /sauvegarde/Windows10/rdiff-backup-data/error_log.
2026-03-02T11:12:25-05:00.data
root@Debian13:~# 

--no-eas did solve the problem.

Debugging with -v 8 gave the following result:
