Re: [BackupPC-users] Unable to change the storage place

[Christophe Gouinaud]

Helo,

The first problem is to use this kind of auto mounting for your disk. 

It is for simple user not to use in an system administrator point of view.

To move /var/lib/backuppc  to a new disk permanently you must at least.

Stop backuppc
add a permanetly entry in the /etc/fstab file to mount your new disk in 
/var/lib/backuppc
move backuppc to backuppc.old (use mv …)
recreate the diectory (mkdir /var/lib/backuppc)
mount your new disk (use mount /var/lib/backuppc if your /etc/fstab is correct 
is suffisant)
give the good owner (chown backuppc /var/lib/backuppc)
give the good group (chgrp backuppc /var/lib/backuppc)
move the existing files (rsync or tar …)
restart backuppc

and take a long breath.

Best regard.

C. G

I would rather use:
chmod -r o+rX /path
It adds execute only to directories, and keeps on files when present.

You can use chmod with the symbolic form for the permissions.

chmod o+rx  /path
for each of the directories will add read and execute for everyone (other).

Re: [BackupPC-users] Unable to change the storage place

You have reason; I have a problem with the permissions :

ls -ld /media
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 jun 11  2016 /media

  ls -ld /media/edith
drwxr-x---+ 3 root root 4096 fév  5 21:18 /media/edith

ls -ld /media/edith/Disque640Go
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 fév  9 10:57 /media/edith/Disque640Go

ls -ld /media/edith/Disque640Go/backuppc
drwxr-x--- 7 backuppc backuppc 4096 fév  9 10:46 
/media/edith/Disque640Go/backuppc


How can I correct this situation ? I'm not very good with the commands 
who change the permissions.

Thanks

Is that fatal or do you still get a shell running as backuppc at that point?

Is it the file itself with incorrect permissions?  Maybe everything is
blocked by permissions on a directory above the one where your symlink
points.   Use 'ls -ld' on each starting with /media and make sure
there is rx permission for everyone or at least backuppc.

That looks OK.  What about  "ls -ld /media/edith/Disque640Go/backuppc"
for the directory itself?


Also, what filesystem type is this?

What does "ls -l /var/lib/backuppc" show?   And if it shows a symlink,
repeat for the target to see ownership and permissions.

Try executing that symlink command that the log says is failing
manually as the backuppc user.  You might get a better error message
that way.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Unable to change the storage place

I did a new Backuppc's installation with your suggestions. 

But when I tried to start backuppc, I had the same response : 

Job for backuppc.service failed because the control process exited with
error code. See "systemctl status backuppc.service" and "journalctl -xe"
for details.

What could I try next to solve the problem ?
Thanks

Something wrong with permissions...

  This should have been -vaH to preserve hardlinks.   And it may take
a long time.

  This should have been chown -r  to recurse down the tree.

As I wasn't able to install "jdupes", I couldn't use it. Sorry, I'm not 
an IT's expert.


Thanks for the support,

These two commands could give some clues:
"systemctl status backuppc.service" and "journalctl -xe"

However, I think, hardlinking of BackupPC is key here. You need to use 
-H with rsync to preserve hardlinks, which BackupPC creates.
An option, which might help now and prevent another copying of the 
pool, is using "jdupes" (https://github.com/jbruchon/jdupes) to 
restore the hradlinks in pool.

Before I used Backuppc with Ubuntu 14.04 and 12.04, and it was perfect.
Why can't I use now ? What's the problem ?

Someone could help me ?
