Issue:
Backups can intermittently fail due to
grep: write error: Resource temporarily unavailable. This appears to be linked to a significant (hundreds of thousands or more) Pages objects in an environment causing thegrepprocess used in conjunction with output redirection to run out of resources and fail.Workarounds:
Remove the
egreps fromghe-rsyncPotential fix:
In combination with potential changes to output filtering (removal of
egreps), investigate additional logic to backup Pages in a similar fashion to repository networks to lower the number of files being transferred.
