Hello,
I just got a failed backup this night, I just added a directory to my
disklist yesterday and I got the following error this morining:
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
bluesky /usr/public/sales lev 0 FAILED [disk /usr/public/sales
offline on bluesky?]
I suspect a bug or limitation in the tar program ... the sendsize logs
are giving the following output:
calculating for amname '/usr/public/sales', dirname '/usr/public/sales'
sendsize: getting size via gnutar for /usr/public/sales level 0
sendsize: missing exclude list file "/usr/local/lib/amanda/exclude.gtar"
discarded
sendsize: spawning /usr/local/libexec/runtar in pipeline
sendsize: argument list: /usr/bin/tar --create --file /dev/null
--directory /usr/public/sales --one-file-system --listed-incremental
/usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists/bluesky_usr_public_sales_0.new
--sparse --ignore-failed-read --totals .
Total bytes written: -2003306496
.....
(no size line match in above gnutar output)
Whereas for a correct directory backup I get :
sendsize: getting size via gnutar for /usr/public/admin level 1
sendsize: missing exclude list file "/usr/local/lib/amanda/exclude.gtar"
discarded
sendsize: spawning /usr/local/libexec/runtar in pipeline
sendsize: argument list: /usr/bin/tar --create --file /dev/null
--directory /usr/public/admin --one-file-system --listed-incremental
/usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists/bluesky_usr_public_admin_1.new
--sparse --ignore-failed-read --totals .
Total bytes written: 8990720
Note that if I run du-ks on this failing directory I get the following
size:
bash-2.02$ du -ks
2259108 .
So we are talking of a 2Gbyte directory backup ....!!!
Thanks for helping.
Pat.
