``restic check`` reports packs that aren't referenced in any index, is my repository broken?
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
When ``restic check`` reports that there are pack files in the
|
|
repository that are not referenced in any index, that's (in contrast to
|
|
what restic reports at the moment) not a source for concern. The output
|
|
looks like this:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ restic check
|
|
Create exclusive lock for repository
|
|
Load indexes
|
|
Check all packs

pack 819a9a52e4f51230afa89aefbf90df37fb70996337ae57e6f7a822959206a85e: not referenced in any index

|

|
|
Check snapshots, trees and blobs
|
|
Fatal: repository contains errors
|
|
|
|
The message means that there is more data stored in the repo than
|
|
strictly necessary. With high probability this is duplicate data. In
|
|
order to clean it up, the command ``restic prune`` can be used. The
|
|
cause of this bug is not yet known.
