Hi - I'm new to the list and hope I'm not breaking any list etiquette
in my first post. I have searched the list archives but didn't find
anything appropriate. Here is my question;
I'm attempting to write a wrapper around rsync which will take care
of creating, mounting and then unmounting and deleting an LVM
snapshot of the directory I want to back up. I know that I could have
used the DumpPreUserCmd amd DumpPostUserCmd settings and I may yet
have to. However, I was hoping to do everything in a single script.
That way I can re-write paths, etc. on the fly and BackupPC doesn't
need to "know" where the snapshot was mounted, for example.
Right now everything works fine up to a point. My snapshot_rsync
wrapper executes, makes the snapshot, starts the rsync with a Perl
"system" call. Backups are made without a problem. However, it
appears that the script gets killed as soon as rsync finishes. If I
run it from the command line, I have no problem. The script continues
after the system call and unmounts and removes the snapshot.
So, my script simply stops running after:
system("$rsyncPath @argList $newShare\n") || die "$rsyncPath @argList
$shareName failed!";
My question is - does BackupPC actively kill the "rsync" after the
backup is finished? I tried catching SIGPIPE and doing the cleanup
then, but that didn't help.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
