Package: rdiff-backup
Version: 0.13.4-1
Severity: normal
Tags: sid
First of all, thanks for maintaining Debian's rdiff-backup package.
I like it an use it.
It seems that rdiff-backup can open too many files under some
circumstances with this command:
rdiff-backup -v3 \
--exclude /c \
--exclude /mnt/dos \
--exclude /mnt/dos_backup \
--exclude /mnt/backup \
--exclude /tmp \
--exclude /proc \
--exclude /home/kingsley/tmp \
/ \
/mnt/backup
It returns this error message after about an hour:

A similar error message was returned by version 0.13.3.jgoerzen-3 of
rdiff-backup.
I seem to have worked around the problem by executing
ulimit -S -n 4096
before running rdiff-backup.
Thanks,
Kingsley
