hi guys,

should rdiff-backup struggle to backup a glusterfs mount?
I'm trying glusterfs and was hoping, expecting I could keep 
on rdiff-backing up data. I backup directly to 
local(non-gluster) storage(xfs) and get this:

$ rdiff-backup --exclude-other-filesystems 
--exclude-symbolic-links /0-ALL.DATA/USER-HOME/ 
/__.aLocalStorages/4/0-DATA-BACKUPs/USER-HOME.RDIFF-backup 
 >> /var/log/WHALE-backups.log
Exception '[Errno 61] No data available' raised of class 
'<type 'exceptions.IOError'>':
   File 
"/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/rdiff_backup/robust.py", 
line 32, in check_common_error
     try: return function(*args)
   File 
"/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/rdiff_backup/rpath.py", 
line 1149, in append
     return self.__class__(self.conn, self.base, self.index 
+ (ext,))
   File 
"/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/rdiff_backup/rpath.py", 
line 884, in __init__
     else: self.setdata()
   File 
"/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/rdiff_backup/rpath.py", 
line 909, in setdata
     if self.lstat(): self.conn.rpath.setdata_local(self)
   File 
"/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/rdiff_backup/rpath.py", 
line 1496, in setdata_local
     if Globals.eas_conn: rpath.data['ea'] = ea_get(rpath)
   File 
"/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/rdiff_backup/eas_acls.py", 
line 597, in rpath_ea_get
     ea.read_from_rp(rp)
   File 
"/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/rdiff_backup/eas_acls.py", 
line 60, in read_from_rp
     attr_list = rp.conn.xattr.listxattr(rp.path, rp.issym())
...

and more, and rdiff-backup crashes.

Would there be some info about "glusterfs backup best 
practices" that are must-read?
many thanks.
L.
