Hi Peter,
could you confirm for me that this works OK for your root
filesystem, but fails for the submounted systems?
i.e. do you exclude /tmp but include /mnt/cxaa/tmp ?
If you want a set with local and the others, you might
be better off not spanning filesystems, and instead using
$set{'all'} = "/ /mnt/cxaa /mnt/xacom4 /mnt/xacomfs1";
I suspect it's not reading the prune lists for those
directories that are not included in the "local" set.
All my configs fully root excluded paths back to an element in the backup set
list.
Try this prune list instead with your current local set definition:
$prune{'/'} = "tmp proc var bin sbin lib dev usr 'lost+found' /mnt/cxaa/mnt
/mnt/cxaa/tmp /mnt/cxaa/proc /mnt/cxaa/tapedir /mnt/cxaa/var /mnt/cxaa/bin
/mnt/cxaa/sbin /mnt/cxaa/xemacs /mnt/cxaa/lib /mnt/cxaa/dev /mnt/cxaa/cdrom
/mnt/cxaa/usr/tmp /mnt/cxaa/usr/lib /mnt/cxaa/usr/bin /mnt/cxaa/usr/sbin
/mnt/cxaa/usr/spol /mnt/cxaa/usr/test /mnt/cxaa/usr/ /mnt/cxaa/usr/local
/mnt/cxaa/usr/diag /mnt/cxaa/usr/hung /mnt/xacom4/mnt /mnt/xacom4/tmp
/mnt/xacom4/proc /mnt/xacom4/var /mnt/xacom4/bin /mnt/xacom4/sbin
/mnt/xacom4/lib /mnt/xacom4/dev /mnt/xacom4/cdrom /mnt/xacom4/install
/mnt/xacom4/ibin /mnt/xacom4/usr/tmp /mnt/xacom4/usr/bin /mnt/xacom4/usr/sbin
/mnt/xacom4/usr/lib /mnt/xacom4/usr/local /mnt/xacom4/usr/man
/mnt/xacom4/usr/fmc2 /mnt/xacom4/usr/lpd /mnt/xacom4/usr/lbin /mnt/xacomfs1/tmp
/mnt/xacomfs1/registry /mnt/xacomfs1/backups '/mnt/xacomfs1/documents/1-to
review then delete'";
These expressions may also help:
$exclude_expr[0] = '.*/proc/.*';
$exclude_expr[1] = '.*/tmp/.*';
Finally, what backup format are you using?
If you're using dump, then some of these excludes won't work, but then
you couldn't be using it for the non local mounts anyway.
Hope that helps to some degree.
I'll check in later today to see if you've had a chance to test it.
I'm in Ireland, so we'll be a bit out of sync.
All the best,
Niall Brosnan
