What I'm trying to do and why

Create a new archive. Every day I run backup via cron and I am receiving a fail alert but this did not occur the first time I made a full backup only the 2nd and 3rd night so far. If I had to guess knowing xxhash is for comparing files it may be my spot check config failing to run. Is this a bug or am I comparing too many files, my config has a 10% compare configured.

Steps to reproduce

Create a new archive with the following config.

source_directories:
  - /mnt/source

repositories:
  - path: ssh://xxx@xxx.repo.borgbase.com/./repo
    label: borgbase-family-photos

one_file_system: false
archive_name_format: 'backup-{utcnow}'

exclude_if_present:
  - .nobackup
  - .NOBACKUP

keep_daily: 7
keep_weekly: 8
keep_monthly: 6
keep_yearly: 2

checks:
  - name: repository
    frequency: 1 month
  - name: archives
    frequency: 1 month
  - name: spot
    frequency: 1 week
    count_tolerance_percentage: 10
    data_sample_percentage: 10
    data_tolerance_percentage: 0.5

check_last: 3

before_everything:
  - echo "Starting a backup job."
after_everything:
  - echo "Backup created."
on_error:
  - echo "Error while creating a backup."

apprise:
  services:
    - url: tgram://xxx:xxx_xxx/xxx/
      label: telegram

  states:
    - start
    - finish
    - fail

Actual behavior

After the backup is complete the following error occurs which raises an fail message to my notifications.

CRITICAL:None:borgbase-family-photos: Error running actions for repository
CRITICAL:None:[Errno 7] Argument list too long: 'xxh64sum'
ERROR:borgmatic.execute:Error while creating a backup.

Expected behavior

No issue with xxh64sum.

Thanks so much for filing this. Yes, this is ostensibly a bug with the spot check. It looks like xxh64sum can't handle more than a certain number of files at once. Until this is fixed, you can try lowering your data_sample_percentage as a work-around.
