The question is what filesystem version you are using? We're assuming that its ext2, with the journalling laid on top which is then called ext3. Dump would care, tar would not. >- Ranveer > >DUMP SUMMARY: > DUMPER STATS TAPER > STATS > >HOSTNAME DISK L ORIG-KB OUT-KB COMP% MMM:SS KB/s MMM:SS >KB/s >-------------------------- --------------------------------- >------------ >pedlinux1 / 1 64770 64770 -- 11:37 93.0 >0:106639.1 >pedlinux1 /boot 1 10 10 -- 0:02 4.1 0:00 >34.9 > >-----Original Message----- >From: Christoph Scheeder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: 12 August 2004 16:57 >To: Ranveer Attalia >Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: data timeout - no replies...anyone??? > >Hi, >That is all what your sendbackup.debug file contains? >no line telling dump reached 100% ? >and no finishing line from sendbackup? >Then your dump-process is dying whitout message after 43.03% of the >Backup. >am i correct that this is a linux-box? >then i would recomend switching to tar for the backup's, as dump for >ext2/3 is known to be problematic with active (mounted) filesystems. >Christoph Something Chhristoph wrote triggerd another fading memory. If there is a firewall involved, and the ports were opened ok, but the firewall see's no activity to 'keep-alive' within a certain time, it closed the ports. This happened to another user at least a year ago IIRC. I believe the cure was to extend the autoclosure timeing in the firewall rules. And I concur with Christoph regarding dump. Tar worked better for me, and it usually gives sensible error messages when it doesn't. But tar versions vary too, and historicly we have been recommending only version 1.13-19 or 1.13-25. There is an even newer version extant, but I can't recall if anyone here on this list has said it works correctly or not. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
