Dear BackupPC Users,
I am running BackupPC-4.1.3 for several months without problems
(really a great piece of software).
About a week ago a strange type of error occured and keeps staying,
which I cannot understand. The error messages are like this ("fs" is
the name of one of my systems to be backed up; I did some linebreaks
to increase readability):
2018-01-28 23:43:34 Can't create /vol/bpc4/BackupPC/pc/fs/149/refCnt
2018-01-29 02:09:34 Serious error: last backup
/vol/bpc4/BackupPC/pc/fs/149 directory doesn't exist!!! Need to
remove back to last filled backup

2018-01-31 01:05:38 Can't mkpath

...
The last pair of messages is then repeated for thousands of files.
It seems, that there is an error concerning the sequence.
I had checked for several default reasons:
- No files or directories have been manipulated manually
- BackupPC is almost the only task running on my backup server (there
should be no side effects from other services; no user is normally
working on that machine)
- the file system has about 1.6 TB at a usage of 65% (this rate was
never exceeded)
- the system had no crash (uptime is 217 days, since setup of
BackupPC).
- /vol/bpc4 is a mount point of an ext4 file system (normally very reliable)
- Kernel 4.1.39, OpenSuSE 42.1 - not really outdated
Any advice to repair this error is highly appretiated.
Best regards
Torsten Finke
