I have recently had some weird hardware or software errors on my 
backuppc filesystem. I have fixed the filesystem errors but some of my 
cpool files have been corrupted. Firstly, during a restore I was getting 
Error: padding messages like this one:

Error: padding .... to 33267797 bytes from 32505856 bytes

for quite a few files. I tried to manually decompress the files and that 
didn't work:

/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_zcat: can't uncompress ...

So the files have been corrupted. But they are not fixed by future 
backups that use the corrupted backup as a baseline, these error lines 
are in the XferLOG file

/var/lib/backuppc/pc/XXX/new//fexpdata/RStmp got=2930688,

At the moment what I'm doing is decompressing my entire cpool, detecting 
corrupted files and removing them from existing backups, then doing a 
nightly to remove them from the cpool. Is this a known problem or is 
there an easier way of fixing it?

Thanks.
