I just went through all available releases of the manual, plus used google
to search the site, and I can't find any mention of symbolic links.
I assumed that symbolic links were backed up as special files, and not
followed.
The reason I ask is this:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/da0s1a 2026030 1618586 245362 87% /
devfs 1 1 0 100% /dev
/dev/da0s1d 232375384 88044680 125740674 41% /r1
/dev/da1s1d 236439446 70232918 147291374 32% /r2
/dev/md0 253678 1120 232264 0% /mqueue
/dev/md1 253678 202 233182 0% /tmp
Both /r1 and /r2 have a directory in the excludes called "/nobackup".
Each of these has about 25gb in it. However, doing a full backup shows
182gb backed up. Given that only 160gb exists on the system, this is
confusing. Given the Excludes, it is even more confusing. Doing rough math,
we should be backing up around 110gb.
FileSet {
Name = "mail-fileset"
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
sparse = yes
}
File = /
File = /r1
File = /r2
}
Exclude {
File = /r1/nobackup
File = /r2/nobackup
File = /proc
File = /tmp
File = /.snap
}
}
Estimate is not useful because it doesn't recognize sparse files:
*estimate job=mail
Connecting to Client mail-fd at 10.64.244.67:9102
2000 OK estimate files=315585 bytes=357,393,937,152
So my question: would symbolic links into /r?/nobackup be followed and
backed up?
Next question: where else do I go from here to determine where the mystery
70gb is coming from?
