I have a fairly large (171 hosts) backup environment that seems to be using rather more disk than it should.
GUI says: Pool is 3055.59GB comprising 7361233 files and 4369 directories (as of 9/16 01:33), df says: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/local-backups 4.0T 3.8T 270G 94% /backups which is a pretty significant gap. I've never moved anything around, so it shouldn't be a linking problem. The trash is empty. Running "du -h --exclude='[0-9]*' --exclude=new" in the pc directory, which *should* ignore only the directories that link to the pool, gives "2.4G ." Running a proper du of the whole tree would take A While, and I'm not sure my RAM could survive the link checking along with all the other stuff backuppc is doing. Any ideas as to what's going on here? Maybe relevant: $Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod} = 8; But that still seems excessive? I've run the nightly manually a few times, as "sudo -u backuppc /usr/local/bin/BackupPC_nightly 0 255" (is that the correct syntax for doing that?) and it's taken well over 24 hours, so splitting it up seems like a probably good idea? -Robin -- http://singinst.org/ : Our last, best hope for a fantastic future.
