Hi,
my gut tells me there is a little bit of misunderstanding. I am really
glad for BackupPC to being rock stable, indeed. And I do not fault
BackupPC for having parts of my pool somehow corrupted because I really
had some hardware issues the last couple of weeks so I guess this
behaviour has to be expected. No worries about this.
What I am suprised and a little bis disappointed is the fact the
BackupPC tools where not able to fix this issue, despite the _fsck and
_refCountUpdate tools. But at least they where helpful in identifying
the host on wich client the issue occured. So I was able to remove the
faulty ones.
Greetings
Christian

Yes - but no one has come remotely close to showing that there is a
problem with BackupPC pooling and de-duping itself. Unfortunately, it
seems like not a single specific file was ever identified as being either
unnecessarily duplicated or mistakenly not deleted from the pool.
It's all great to *claim* that you don't think files are being deleted
but it's really hard to give any credence to such claim let alone
address it if no one is willing and/or able to identify specific
errors then can be used to troubleshoot.
Rather, the attitude seems to be just delete it all and fault
BackupPC.
I'm not saying that there can't be errors... just that BackupPC has
worked stably for so many for so many years that any claim for
unreliability requires further troubleshooting.
