Description

Running on Debian Squeeze x64.
I'm using on-demand timeshift setting.

When I switch to any channel, new buffer file is created immediately, but nothing being written to it; every 1 minute new empty file is created, and 8 zero bytes are written to previous one.
No other data is written except mentioned 8 zero bytes (I assume it's some eof mark). So I end up with many files 8 byte in length and last one (current) empty.

When I press pause, then resume, it may or may not work - sometimes last file starts growing, sometimes not. Possibly this depends on how many 8-byte files were created already, but I'm not sure.

I expect no files being created in on-demand mode until I actually start using timeshift.

Yeah there is a rather obvious flaw in the on-demand stuff. I'll try and look into this asap.
