First of all...Craig, for all the times I have posted I don't know if I
ever thanked you for this great piece of software! I sleep much better
knowing that I have a good backup plan working.
I had BackupPC running under Ubuntu. I abandon Ubuntu because it was
having too many problems. I have installed Slackware. I am liking it
much better!
My backup files were on an additional hard drive and I preserved that
hard drive in the new install. I have installed Apache with mod_perl,
Samba and BackupPC. I have placed a symbolic link in the backup data
directory that points to the backup data on the additional drive.
I can see my old backups and can run new backups. The problem is
currently that I am getting linking errors like the following:
<clip>
2007-04-08 21:20:02 BackupPC_link got error -4 when calling
MakeFileLink(/data/BackupPC/backups/pc/slacker/2/fEric/fhello.txt,
5ee4aa1b190383553c1a7712ad260358, 1)
2007-04-08 21:20:02 BackupPC_link got error -4 when calling
MakeFileLink(/data/BackupPC/backups/pc/slacker/2/fEric/attrib,
4e852a5ce7de7b42cc837be992d50f80, 1)
2007-04-08 21:20:02 Finished slacker (BackupPC_link slacker)
<clip>
I have looked in the archives and have found that this is usually caused by:
1) Running out of nodes. This is not the case in my situation:
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/hdb1 39075840 1011307 38064533 3% /dev/backupdisk
2) Having the pool or cpool directory on a different volume. Also not
the case as all are on the hard drive under the directory backups.
Below are the permissions of the folders on the hard drive (hdb).
hdb:
drwxr-x--- 6 backuppc backuppc 4096 2006-11-23 18:09 backups
hdb/backups:
drwxr-x--- 2 backuppc backuppc 4096 2006-11-23 18:09 cpool
drwxr-x--- 7 backuppc backuppc 4096 2007-04-08 21:08 pc
drwxr-x--- 2 backuppc backuppc 4096 2006-12-23 19:53 pool
drwxr-x--- 2 backuppc backuppc 4096 2007-02-04 01:10 trash
I have confirmed that backuppc is running as backuppc.
Can anyone help with this linking error?
Also (possible related) is that when I had backuppc running on Ubuntu it
was not pooling. I never figured that problem out.
Thanks,
Eric
