Package: vnstati Version: 1.11-2 Severity: important Howdy,
Upon installing vnstat using the following command: $ apt-get install vnstati the vnstat daemon is able to create its own database for each interface. However, when trying to update its own database, it attempts to create a backup database '.eth0' for example. It is unable to. The error in syslog shows: vnstatd[12464]: Error: Unable create database backup "/var/lib/vnstat/.eth0". vnstatd[12464]: Error: Unable to write database, continuing with cached data. vnstatd[12464]: Database write possible again. Running the following command has resolved the issue. I was able to reproduce this issue on two machines running the same version of jess. The fix for me was the following command $ touch /var/lib/vnstat/.eth0 $ chown -R vnstat:vnstat /var/lib/vnstat/.eth0 -- Adam Brenner <a...@aeb.io> -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.14-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages vnstati depends on: ii libc6 2.18-5 ii libgd3 2.1.0-3+b1 ii vnstat 1.11-2 vnstati recommends no packages. vnstati suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
