That still shouldn't cause the problem because the backup is running on one file system while the writing of the precopy script is happening on the other. Perhaps you should run a diagnostic script that sits in a loop doing something like: ls -l /home/csadmin/canosoft/bbdd/atursa.sql ps auxww lsof while the backup is running. That will allow you to see when the file size changes and which process is writing to it. > BTW: Congratulations, I think you are doing an incredible job with the > product and your work on this list.
