Re: Help on Tape Backups / Disc Space
Thanks for the reply Lowell. Are you just guessing here, or do you have a reason to think this is happening? Not sure what you mean? I cut and paste the logs so clearly there is something happening i.e. a reason for those messages? A quick look at flexbackup makes me think that it uses virtual memory, not file space, to buffer data for spooling. Yes, I think you are right ! Here is a cut from the conf file :- # Buffering program - to help streaming $buffer = 'buffer'; # one of false/buffer/mbuffer $buffer_megs = '10'; # buffer memory size (in megabytes) $buffer_fill_pct = '75'; # start writing when buffer this percent full Do you even know for sure that your backup was running at the time that the filesystem full messages were generated? Unfortunatly not - the times are different so this could two unrelated issues. Maybe. At some point you filled /data up. You don't have enough information here to indicate why. If you could indicate which information I would need would that help? You will probably want to keep closer track to understand your usage patterns better.
