I've got an xfs partition on an IRIX box that is a bit over 15gb and includes
a couple of swap files on it. I would like to back up the 3 directories that
are in the partition seperately (and ignore the swapfiles, of course), so
in my disklist i have
<hostname> /mountpoint/dir comp-user
<hostname> /mountpoint/dir2 comp-user
<hostname> /mountpoint/dir3 comp-user
amcheck is fine with this, but when it actually goes to backup the dirs,
i get 'disk offline' errors. Looking at /tmp/amanda/sendsize.debug, I
see these errors:
sendsize: running "/sbin/dump 0sf 1048576 - /<mountpoint>/<dirname>"
DUMP: Cannot find character device for /<mountpoint>/<dirname>
for each of the dirs. I assume this means that xfsdump only wants to
dump full partitions, is there any way around this? I suppose an alternative
is to backup the whole partition in one batch and use an exclude list for
the swapfiles but i'd much prefer to run each directory seperately...
