Hello everybody,
since my backup partition is on a RAID5 which doesn't do anything but
keeping my backups, I want the hard drives to automatically spin down
(standby) when there is nothing to do.
It's working properly, I only have one problem: backuppc writes to the
per-pc log file in $topdir/pc/$host/LOG.**** every times it wakes up and
tries to ping (or nmblookup) that host.
It does nothing but writing one line in the log file that it couldn't reach
the host.
As I'm trying to save energy and protect my hard drives from too many spin
downs/spin ups, I want to prevent these unnecessary spin ups. I already
moved the general log file to a different hard drive, but there is no
option to move the per-pc log file (or I haven't found it).
My question: Is there a way to
1) either move the per-pc log file (just like the general log file)?
2) or prevent backuppc from logging that it couldn't reach the host?
I already tried to cache the log file, without success. if you know a way
to do this (without caching everything which is not what I want with a
RAID5) that would solve the problem, too.
My system:
Debian stable (2.6.32-5)
backuppc version 3.1.0
mount options: ext4 data=writeback,commit=60,noatime
Thanks for any help
Till
