**Heady Rhyme**

With hardware I don't tinker.
I am more a pure-sort thinker.
Just stirring around ideas
Hoping to find panaceas.

Nor am I a math whiz,
Doing sums my peak biz.
Einstein I shall never be.
So I just noodle with philosophy.

This is a hybrid dj/live set recorded at Aroma, Berlin, 2000, by yours truly and in two parts. Aroma was never an official event location or bar, and we've always meet to just hang out, drink, dance, and use a few cassettes and CDs fed into a loop machine/delay buffer to just start playing on top, if just on cocktail glasses :)

Enjoy

A humorous and playful illustrated message about expectations, featuring two anthropomorphic animals. The left side shows an anthro purple dog expressing joy from receiving what was requested, while the right side features a gray anthro cat looking disappointed. The text below the dog reads, “For those who not only asked for it, but also actually got it.” Under the cat, it says, “For those who didn’t get what they wanted! You’re officially part of the ‘Better Luck Next Time’ club.”

Barman woes on OVH

So, due to a cascade of Barman’s errors and corrupted backups due to running out of backup space, I had to pretty much clear out my Barman backup storage.

After resetting everything, however, I was not able to make a full backup, because Barman was not able to receive write-ahead logs from PostgreSQL.

2025-06-04 22:00:21,209 [523687] barman.cli ERROR: [Errno 5] Input/output error: '/backup/barman/pg/wals/00000001000000CD/00000001000000CD00000009.tmp'
See log file for more details.
Traceback (most recent call last):

Input/output error? That’s odd, but the stacktrace tells us a lot, as from the function name (os.setxattr), we can deduce that it’s trying to set xattrs on our WAL files. The underlying storage for my backups is OVH’s Backup Storage, accessible over NFS. And NFS, for most of its life, was not able to support xattrs even if the underlying filesystem does. The support has been added to NFS 4.2, while OVH (still) uses 4.1.

So, how to fix this?

Initially, I thought of downgrading Barman, because things had worked before. But that did not help, and so I had to go digging into the source code (which was painful as I am not a Python guy).

# Perform the real filesystem operation with the xlogdb lock taken.            # This makes the operation atomic from the xlogdb file POV            with self.server.xlogdb("a") as fxlogdb:                # If the content has changed, it means the file was either compressed                # or encrypted or both. In this case, we need to update its metadata                if content_changed:                    shutil.copystat(src_file, current_file)                    stat = os.stat(current_file)                    wal_info.size = stat.st_size

So, if content_changed is true, we use copystat from shutil.py, which copies xattrs from the original file.

# If the bits of the file has changed e.g. due to compression or encryption            content_changed = False            # Compress the file if not already compressed            if compressor and not wal_info.compression:                compressor.compress(src_file, tmp_file)                files_to_remove.append(current_file)                current_file = tmp_file                content_changed = True                wal_info.compression = compressor.compression            # Encrypt the file            if encryption:                encrypted_file = encryption.encrypt(current_file, dst_dir)                files_to_remove.append(current_file)                current_file = encrypted_file                wal_info.encryption = encryption.NAME                content_changed = True

Ah, so therein lies the rub: Barman assumes that it needs to do this if the content is either being compressed or encrypted. And it just so happens that I’ve also enabled GZIP compression so as not to run out of space again. Well, we have to deal with this the old-fashioned way (by lowering the retention policy). After disabling compression, Barman was able to make backups again.

Hope this helps someone, because it sure as fuck would’ve helped me.
