(Many apologies if this appears twice, I tried to send it via Nabble first but it seems to have got stuck, and is fairly urgent/serious.)
Hi, I'm trying to use the replication handler to take snapshots, then archive them and ship them off-site. Just now I got a message from tar that worried me: tar: snapshot.20110115035710/_70b.tis: file changed as we read it tar: snapshot.20110115035710: file changed as we read it The relevant bit of script that does it looks like this (error checking removed): curl 'http://localhost:8983/solr/core/1replication?command=backup' PREFIX='' if [[ "$START_TIME" =~ 'Sun' ]] then PREFIX='weekly.' fi cd $SOLR_DATA_DIR for snapshot in `ls -d -1 snapshot.*` do TARGET="${LOCAL_BACKUP_DIR}/${PREFIX}${snapshot}.tar.bz2" echo "Archiving ${snapshot} into $TARGET" tar jcf $TARGET $snapshot echo "Deleting ${snapshot}" rm -rf $snapshot done I was under the impression that files in the snapshot were guaranteed to never change, right? Otherwise what's the point of the replication backup command? I tried putting in a 30-second sleep after the snapshot and before the tar, but the error occurred again anyway. There was a message from Lance N. with a similar error in, years ago: http://www.mail-archive.com/solr-user@lucene.apache.org/msg06104.html but that would be pre-replication anyway, right? This is on Ubuntu 10.10 using java 1.6.0_22 and Solr 1.4.0. Thanks, Andrew. -- :: http://biotext.org.uk/ :: http://twitter.com/andrew_clegg/ ::
