Sometimes, dar produces core dump at exit with this bt :

...

may be fixed in 2.6.7 ?

Hi,

Can you please add librsync to dependencies? It is required for delta compression support.

DrMartinus commented on 2017-04-17 06:30 (UTC)

I get the errorcode 8 somewhere in the middle of the backup, probably because of the amount of files to be packed in the archive. Explanation according to man-page: "the version of dar used is based in finite length integers (it has been compiled with the option --enable-mode=...). This code is returned when an integer overflow occurred. use the full version (based in the so called "infinint" class) to avoid this error." The so far finished archive has about 160 GB in around 40 slices, RAM is no problem.

With the --enable-mode=64 compile flag, I get the error "Cannot handle such a too large integer." Without this flag it is working. The backup size is about 5 GB (no zetabytes!). The memory usage without this flag is about 250 MB. I think this is not so much, so please consider to remove this flag again.

Contact me via email or XMPP (same address) if you want to become a co-maintainer.

I would adopt it, if I knew how. Since I use the software frequently, I can also test it. I guess, that wasn't necessary, since it seems Marcin Wieczorek being the maintainer? In that case: I eagerly await version 2.5.9, since I am struggling with a bug that's supposed to be solved with that new release. I would appreciate it being made available soon... ;-)

I didn't see that the pkgrel is equal 2 :(

izmntuk commented on 2016-06-01 15:46 (UTC)

Disowned as I no longer have enough time for maintenaunce. (and I cannot access a environment for testing the new release now...) So feel free to adopt it if you are interested.

flyingDavid commented on 2016-02-19 17:24 (UTC)

Could you please re-add the --enable-mode={64,32} compile flags? After removing them, dar uses a special integer format to store arbitrary big integers, but this needs much more memory for me (We're talking about gigabytes here) This is needed for backups of zetabytes of data [1], but I guess that's much more than most of the users need.

Yes, samples and docs should be in /usr/share/doc/dar, and not in /usr/share/dar ;) Fixing your /etc/darrc should work, maybe i fix this with the next package update so /etc/darrc points to the right destination for new installations.
