Bug ID: 68731
Summary: Backing up wikimetrics data fails if data is written
while we back it up
Product: Analytics
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized

The run of the hourly script for 2014-07-28 05:00 failed with
tar: /var/lib/wikimetrics/public/69987: file changed as we read it
Error: Either failed to get lock on
/data/project/wikimetrics/backup/wikimetrics1/hourly, or tar-ing failed.
I checked locks, and they were properly cleaned up. So it seems the issue
was only that the file was written while we tried to tar it up.
Since we expect more writing over time, should we guard against this
from happening again?
