Using the deja-dup backup interface, this is what I end up with: 2214 drzeus 30 10 2545m 2.2g 4444 R 95.0 58.1 7:37.16 duplicity And it just keeps growing. I tried restricting it with ulimit, hoping it would do something graceful when allocations failed. But I must have done something wrong, even though: $ grep resident /proc/2214/limits Max resident set 1073741824 1073741824 bytes Something needs to be done here. The machine starts thrashing and slows to a crawl whenever I try to make a backup.
FAIL: duplicity-0.6.17-1.fc16.x86_64 http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/duplicity-talk/2012-01/msg00059.html
This should be fixed in the new upstream release 0.6.18. I have set up upstream monitoring now.
Please make a new release (or better backport the fix), I still cannot backup my machine as duplicity runs there out of its 8GB of RAM. Made a package commit request along.
Same issue here..
