New install, get SIGABORT

Support
1

I installed duplicati on 2 different linux machines. One works good, the other crashes with a SIGABORT trying to backup its first job. This is on a ubuntu 16.04, and mono --version shows 5.4 What should I check?

The w32error-unix.c: unknown error (87) "Too many users" makes it sounds like a GNU C library issue . If that’s the case then it’s trying to tell us "The file quota system is confused because there are too many users." Do you have quotas set up on your source or destination?

No I do not have quotas setup, and have the exact same fstab line in another system that is running fine. Note the backup location is to a cifs mount. The only difference is the mono --version. 5.4.0 on the broken one, and 4.2.1 on the working one. Can that be the issue?

Actually now that I think about it, the memory is very different, this one that fails only has 512mb of RAM. What is min needed?

Honestly I’ve never checked what hardware requirements are. I do know people run it on RaspberryPi level hardware so my guess is it’s a pretty low barrier - though I’m sure that varies depending on functionality in use (block size, dblock size, hash type, compression type, etc.).

I’m not really sure what to make of it as I’ve never run into it before but the “87 Too many users” error doesn’t feel to me like a memory issue UNLESS the user list is somehow being stored in memory in some way. The “file quota” comment above came from GNU docs (The GNU C Library) and the error number (87) seems to align with the declaration here:

Just out of curiosity, do about the same number of users get reported from users or users | wc -w on each of your boxes?
