I discovered I was accidentally backing up a backintime backup that was in progress. I’ve exclude
d those folders, used rewrite with --forget, run prune for good measure, and run check, which passed. My backup is still bloated, and in trying to find what is taking so much space, I used mount
, then ran du -sh
on the snapshot folders. I receive the following error on several files.
TLDR; is this normal?
Thanks!

This almost certainly means that you have a corrupted file system.
