Hi
First of all, thanks for a great piece of software! I'm using
BackupPC 3.0.0 on a FreeBSD 6.1 box, doing backups with ssh+rsync to
other boxes. 2.x (whatever version it was) has been running fine for
long now, and a few weeks ago i upgraded to 3.0.0.
A few days ago I got an emai lfrom BackupPC saying that one of my
boxes had not been backed up for 7 days.. Looked into it, it seemed
that the backups where started just fine, but for some reason they
failed. I started one manually, it transfered some data for some
minutes (bandwidth graphs), then just stopped, and nothing else
happened...
I tried to add --log-file=/tmp/rlog to RsyncArgs to see what was
going on. The log seems to tell me that the backup stops at one file
all the time...:
...
2007/04/04 09:07:58 [63989] <f????????? usr/home/__backupdump/munin/
gw-1.stromnet.se-smart_ad2-Spin_Retry_Count-g.xml
2007/04/04 09:07:58 [63989] <f????????? usr/home/__backupdump/munin/
gw-1.stromnet.se-smart_ad2-Spin_Up_Time-g.xml
2007/04/04 09:07:58 [63989] <f????????? usr/home/__backupdump/munin/
gw-1.stromnet.se-smart_ad2-Start_Stop_Count-g.xml
2007/04/04 09:07:58 [63989] <f????????? usr/home/__backupdump/munin/
gw-1.stromnet.se-smart_ad2-UDMA_CRC_Error_Count-g.xml
this is where it stops.. The files above are xml dumps of RRD-files
(graph data for the Munin utility).. Some date about the file (and
surrounding files):
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 507610 Apr 4 09:04 /usr/home/__backupdump/
munin/gw-1.stromnet.se-smart_ad2-Spin_Up_Time-g.xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 507610 Apr 4 09:04 /usr/home/__backupdump/
munin/gw-1.stromnet.se-smart_ad2-Start_Stop_Count-g.xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 507610 Apr 4 09:04 /usr/home/__backupdump/
munin/gw-1.stromnet.se-smart_ad2-UDMA_CRC_Error_Count-g.xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 507608 Apr 4 09:04 /usr/home/__backupdump/
munin/gw-1.stromnet.se-smart_ad2-smartctl_exit_status-g.xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 507610 Apr 4 09:04 /usr/home/__backupdump/
munin/gw-1.stromnet.se-smart_ad6-Calibration_Retry_Count-g.xml
500kb files.. nothing fancy, no special flags or anything.. But for
some reason it totally hangs after it has processed that
UDMA_CRC_Error-file. It does get transfered to the backup host just
fine, but after that nothing happens at all. It can sit for several
hours before it timeouts.
I tried one thing, to remove all the files in the munin directory
(they are dumped from RRD files to XML files just right before every
backup using a prescript). Guess what? It helped! The backup went
through just fine. Not a single hickup. Added the files again, and
bam it blocks...
Some info:
backup box:
FreeBSD crus.stromnet.org 6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #3: Tue
May 9 20:40:23 CEST 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/
src/sys/GENERIC i386
rsync version 2.6.8 protocol version 29
OpenSSH_4.2p1 FreeBSD-20050903, OpenSSL 0.9.7e-p1 25 Oct 2004
backuped box:
FreeBSD elfi.stromnet.se 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #9: Thu Jan

rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29
OpenSSH_4.2p1 FreeBSD-20050903, OpenSSL 0.9.7e-p1 25 Oct 2004
So, what is so magic with these files?? Any clues? Maybe i should try
to upgrade rsync?
Thanks!
