Expected behavior
Snapshot is created and missing attributes are ignored.
Actual behavior
Snapshot is not created.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
I tried to run restic on shared shell account. The permissions are restrictive there.
$ ls -al /home
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 0 8 6 aug 2015 /home -> usr/home
$ ls -al /usr/home
total 0
ls: /usr/home: Permission denied
Do you have any idea what may have caused this?
My user does not have permission to read attributes from directories above.
Do you have an idea how to solve the issue?
Ignore the permission read error.
