I use this machine to backup itself and a couple of other Fedora machines (still at F16 and F15) to an external USB disk that is mounted under /scratch, with the BackupPC directory sym-linked to /var/lib/BackupPC. Wednesday, I upgraded from F16 to F17 using preupgrade with only one glitch (the installation hung up installing Steel Bank Common Lisp, which seems to have happened to a number of other people, but it went through fine when I restarted it).
There were a couple of minor selinux issues with contexts that have been fixed with restorecon. But the BackupPC web interface doesn't seem to be able to get information about the backups. So, for instance, it shows whether any backups are running and some of the status information (like the size of the pool), but it claims that none of the hosts have any backups and it says the pool contains 0 files. However, I was able to use the web interface to initiate a full backup of one host and all the log information indicates that completed successfully (with 847583 files, 117689557865 bytes, 0 xferErrs). Moreover, although (after a restorecon suggested by sealert), I can read the logs (e.g., /var/log/BackupPC/LOG and the older ones) from the web interface, when I go to the page for a specific host and try to read the LOG file for this host (by clicking in the panel in the upper left), it tells me "Can't open log file". The backuppc user can read the file, however. I'm not seeing any audit entries when this happens (and I've tried running with selinux set to permissive and it doesn't make any difference). The file ownership and permissions (up to /var/lib/BackupPC) seem ok to me. And backups completed successfully the morning of the day I did the upgrade (which I checked before doing the upgrade ;-) ). Moreover, the scheduled backups seemed to run just fine last night. The only things I'm seeing in the httpd logs are the well-known "Use of qw(...) as parentheses is deprecated ..." lines. Does anyone have any suggestions about what else to look at to sort this out? Thanks, George
