Hi All, I been running BackupPC since 2007 and gotten good service over the years.
Recently, things started acting a bit strangely and now I understand that the hard drive was failing. I have a new (and larger) hard drive installed. I has been a while since I last set up the system, so it has been slow going while I research my notes and try to remember. I was running the archive drive as an LVM2 drive and mounted it at /var/lib/backuppc. I have set up the new drive, but cannot get it to mount. I am probably doing something wrong. I pray that someone will see what I am doing wrong or failed to do. Below is data from my system: ken@smbsrvr2:~$ sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0003a65b Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 3825 30720000 83 Linux /dev/sda2 3825 4080 2048000 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda3 4080 38914 279800833 5 Extended /dev/sda5 4080 16828 102400000 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda6 16829 38914 177399808 83 Linux Disk /dev/sdb: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x495f918b Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 3824 30716248+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sdb2 3825 38913 281852392+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sdb5 3825 17465 109571301 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sdb6 17466 31106 109571301 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sdb7 31107 38913 62709696 83 Linux Disk /dev/sdc: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Disk /dev/sdc doesn't contain a valid partition table ken@smbsrvr2:~$ sudo lvdisplay --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/archive/backup VG Name archive LV UUID bIHQDu-oHw1-q0L9-IXaI-Cymy-Cvrz-8xOSzZ LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 0 LV Size 936.00 MiB Current LE 234 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 252:0 ken@smbsrvr2:~$ sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/archive/backup /new ken@smbsrvr2:~$ cd /new ken@smbsrvr2:/new$ ls cpool log lost+found pc pool trash ken@smbsrvr2:/new$ ls -al total 44 drwxr-xr-x 8 backuppc root 4096 2012-04-22 17:57 . drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 2012-04-22 17:35 .. drwxr-xr-x 18 backuppc root 4096 2012-04-22 18:24 cpool drwxr-xr-x 2 backuppc root 4096 2012-04-22 18:26 log drwx------ 2 backuppc root 16384 2012-04-22 17:31 lost+found drwxr-xr-x 3 backuppc root 4096 2012-04-22 18:28 pc drwxr-xr-x 2 backuppc root 4096 2012-04-22 17:57 pool drwxr-xr-x 2 backuppc root 4096 2012-04-22 17:57 trash ken@smbsrvr2:/new$ cd /home ken@smbsrvr2:/home$ cat /etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier # for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name # devices that works even if disks are added and removed.
