Hello,

I'm facing 2 differents issues with BackupPC :

*) Locking

Transfer is done using rsync+ssh, I've a task that started at 4am and
was stuck (backup still processing but no activity on disk)
I was forced to kill rsync process manually, DumpPostUserCmd was called
then.

Here's the list of process that was running : 
backuppc   521  0.0  0.0   5556  3196 ?        S    04:51
0:05 /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root remote /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender
--numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times
--block-size=2048 --recursive . /home/snap/something/
root       524  0.0  0.0   5104  2720 ?        Ss   04:51
0:18 /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner
--group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048
--recursive . /home/snap/something/
backuppc   525  8.3  1.9 334108 331164 ?       S    04:51
40:02 /usr/bin/perl /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_dump something

Strace on rsync : it was waiting like select(1, ...)
This problem occured twice since i'm using BackupPC (july 2008), which
is handling 18 hosts (Pool Size = 42 GB).

#86 was supposed to be a full backup but when browsing I found out that
it's missing a lot of directory ( /bin /home ...)

size of backup# on disk 
2,8G    86
9,3G    87
9,4G    88

Moreover, when trying to read logfile, to found out anything : file
XferLog seems corrupted 

# /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_zcat XferLOG.86.z 
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_zcat: can't uncompress XferLOG.86.z

# hexdump -C XferLOG.86.z | head -n5

BackupPC version is 3.1.0 (from Debian etch/backports 3.1.0-2~bpo40+1).


The last one isn't really directly related to BackupPC : 
* I'm using LVM2 to make snapshot of ext3 device and then mount it
(read-only) : this is done in DumpPreUserCmd .
* when backup completed, it's unmounted and snapshot is removed in
DumpPostUserCmd

Time to time, when mounting snapshot, I'm having issue in syslog : 
EXT3-fs: dm-34: orphan cleanup on readonly fs
ext3_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 65456043
...
ext3_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 65456045
EXT3-fs: dm-34: 11 orphan inodes deleted
EXT3-fs: recovery complete.
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

Is this a correct behaviour ? 



Thanks,
