[Python-apps-team] Bug#310442: rdiff-backup: no way to recover from full filesystem

[Bram Schoenmakers]

Another way to work-around this problem is to add a large (empty) file
on the backup volume (dd if=/dev/zero of=/backup/blob count=1000
bs=1M). Then, whenever rdiff-backup fails when the device becomes
full, remove that file and you can run --check-destination-dir to fix
up the repository.
