I agree with you about 44+11. The mystery if this is the origin of my
problem, is that we are talking about two separate drives (/dev/hdb1 +
/dev/hda1).

So...there is a copy of many OLD faubackups on /dev/hda1!

My backup strategy involves two Maxtor external hard drives, one being
connected for six months and then swapped with the second which has been
stored off site. Somehow the non-connected Maxtor data has been saved
on /dev/hda1.
My easy solution is to umount /maxtor, and delete all the old backups.
I wonder, maybe faubackup can't cope with disappearing data...?
Thanks for any input.
