--- Begin Message ---Package: backuppc Version: 3.1.0-9 Severity: important I just ran BackupPC_dump on the command line to test something. Soon I found that it stopped working, producing weird messages like: Unable to open /srv/backuppc/pc/julia.oerlikon.madduck.net/new/f%2f/…/fPeru/fP1010117.JPG for writing\n Botch, no matches on /srv/backuppc/pc/julia.oerlikon.madduck.net/new/f%2f/…/fPeru/fP1010117.JPG (066c58c27e84aec2bfb761ec60fe55e9)\n create 700 1001/1001 3195353 …/Peru/P1010117.JPG I discovered the reason: it seems that the backuppc daemon started a backup for that host while the dump was already running. It moved ./new/ out of the way and started with a new, empty directory. The existing dump process hence could no longer write files because the parent directories had vanished. This could have been prevented if the dump process itself locks the host. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.35-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_NZ, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[email protected]> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems

--- Begin Message ---Hi, I was going through those very old bugs and decided to close them, as BackupPC V4 has evolved a lot and a lot of those bugs seems to be feature requests, unsure if the problems still exist or otherwise not actionable. Please feel free to reopen the bugs, if think that is sensible, or maybe if it as feature request check directly with upstream. -- tobi
