Package: dirvish Version: 1.2-1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Hi,
This is using rsync 2.6.4-6 (yes, etch is still testing so we're not using
it on that server :-)
If rsync has a "file vanished on sender" error, it apparently reports an
error code to dirvish which interprets this as "backup of this tree has
failed." But for the purpose of taking a backup, the tree has not failed -
some files disappeared, but since I still have a backup of the whole tree,
backup succeeded hence dirvish should report a success.
Why does this matter?
* monitoring
* we use hook scripts to write dirvish trees to tape for off-site backup.
I used to evaluate the dirvish success code and only write the tree to tape
if success was reported.
cheers
