Description Richard Beyer 2008-08-18 14:33:07 UTC 
I'm using conduit 0.3.13.1 (from getdeb.net) on Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy).

When I perform a backup (one way sync) of my complete home-folder (which is on a seperate partition) to a external disc everything work fine.

/home/richard *----> /media/disc-1

When I perform the same action with the option "Include hidden files" enabled conduit uses all my cpu and memory and nothing happens; evetually until my system crashes or I kill the program.

Syncing single folders with "Include hidden files" enabled work fine.

Hmm, Can you run conduit from a terminal and post the ouput here please?

Output from the terminal 

I have tracked the bug down to a problem with filenames: when a filename contains the character "#" conduit will stop working or the cpu load and the memory will go through the roof.

This looks like a bug in gnomevfs to me.
Comment 4 Richard Beyer 2008-08-24 09:51:23 UTC 
rsync does the job fine. I don't know if it uses gnomevfs.

What can I do to test this?

Thanks.
