I'm backing up over 200 hosts to three big BackupPC servers. I added
5 new clients today and all five are exhibiting the same strange exit
with no discernable errors.
All machines concerned are running debian sarge and BackupPC is
2.1.1. The config file shared for the five boxes:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/proc', '/sys', '/var/lib/mysql', '/
dgisi'];
The command to run is:
sudo /var/backups/rsyncSend --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --
owner --group --devices --links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive
--exclude=/proc --exclude=/sys --exclude=/var/lib/mysql --exclude=/
dgisi --ignore-times . /
rsyncSend is:
#!/bin/sh -f
exec /usr/bin/rsync $*
An example error log is:
Contents of file /var/lib/backuppc/pc/dg1.chinoc.net/XferLOG.bad.z,
modified 2007-03-01 14:24:54 (Extracting only Errors)
Running: /usr/bin/ssh -c arcfour -p 8889 -q -x -l backup
dg1.chinoc.net sudo /var/backups/rsyncSend --server --sender --
numeric-ids --perms --owner --group --devices --links --times --block-
size=2048 --recursive --exclude=/proc --exclude=/sys --exclude=/var/
lib/mysql --exclude=/dgisi --ignore-times . /
Xfer PIDs are now 6052
Got remote protocol 29
Negotiated protocol version 26
Sent exclude: /proc
Sent exclude: /sys
Sent exclude: /var/lib/mysql
Sent exclude: /dgisi
fileListReceive() failed
Done: 0 files, 0 bytes
Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed)
Backup aborted (fileListReceive failed)
I seem to be able to run the command manually, no problem ( I do
interrupt it after a couple of minutes). When I start a backup from
the web interface, it exits almost immediately.
Any ideas what could be wrong?
Thanks in advance,
James
P.S. I see that rsync is 2.6.4 on the server and 2.6.9 on these new
clients. Is this a problem?
