The -4 error means that a file cannot be added to the pool
(ie: a new hardlink cpool/5/e/e/5ee4aa1b190383553c1a7712ad260358
to /data/BackupPC/backups/pc/slacker/2/fEric/fhello.txt).
You've checked the obvious things.
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/hdb1 39075840 1011307 38064533 3% /dev/backupdisk
Your TOPDIR is /data/BackupPC/backups, but your disk is mounted
on /dev/backupdisk. Is that right?
Yes, This is correct.
What happens when you run:
df /data/BackupPC/backups/pc/slacker
df /data/BackupPC/backups/cpool
I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# df /data/BackupPC/backups/pc/slacker
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdb1 307663800 144787820 147247548 50% /dev/backupdisk
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# df /data/BackupPC/backups/cpool
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdb1 307663800 144787820 147247548 50% /dev/backupdisk
Does it show the same file system?
Does the directory /data/BackupPC/backups/cpool/5/e/e exist? What happens when
you try to manually make the link:
su backuppc
link /data/BackupPC/backups/pc/slacker/2/fEric/fhello.txt
/data/BackupPC/backups/cpool/5/e/e/5ee4aa1b190383553c1a7712ad260358
link: cannot create link
`/data/BackupPC/backups/cpool/5/e/e/5ee4aa1b190383553c1a7712ad260358' to
`/data/BackupPC/backups/pc/slacker/2/fEric/fhello.txt': No such file or
directory
I did a couple of things.
1) I changed the backup directory to be the one on the same drive that
BackupPC runs from (hda) that holds the symlinks to the other drive. It
created the links when I ran the backup. We know that my installation of
BackupPC will make links OK to the same drive that it is installed on.
2) I created individual links for each directory (pc, cpool and pool)
that point to actual directories on hdb and then tried the backup. The
backup run fine and links were created on the target drive (hdb) inside
dev/backupdisk/backups/cpool.
It seems that the problem only shows up when I have a single link of my
topmost directory rather than individual links to each directory one
level down.
???
Thanks,
Eric
