Hi,
I know that this might not be the place to ask but...
Right now I've just done a fresh install of 5.6U4 with...
e-smith-service-control-1.1.0-06 and dmc-mitel-backup2ws-0.0.1-16 and taht's all. I've mounted a share on my win2k machine in fstab to run a complete system backup to and typing mount gives...
[root@bugzilla /]# mount
/dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw,usrquota,grpquota)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
//norrie/shared on /mnt/norrie type smbfs (0)
//norrie/shared on /mnt/backup2ws.192997 type smbfs (0)
[root@bugzilla /]#
fd -h gives...
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3 5.6G 477M 4.8G 9% /
/dev/hda1 99M 8.6M 85M 10% /boot
none 62M 0 61M 0% /dev/shm
//norrie/shared 23G 5.9G 17G 25% /mnt/norrie
//norrie/shared 23G 5.9G 17G 25% /mnt/backup2ws.192997
Now so far running a complete backup to my workstation share has resulted in one 650MB file and one of 185 (and growing)!
Looking in the last few lines of /var/log/backup2ws/[jobnumber]...
Adding /dev/fb OK
Adding /dev/fd OK
Adding /dev/i2o OK
Adding /dev/ida OK
Adding /dev/ftape OK
Adding /dev/hda ....
Creating archive /mnt/backup2ws.192997/192997/192997.07.08.03.part2.rar
... dev/hda
Peeking inside the archive file 192997.07.08.03.part1.rar I can see that /dev/hda packed size is reported as being 676,680,238 (I hope that's bytes)!
Help! Can anyone suggest what's gone wrong here? In writing this the second .rar file has grown to230MB+.
Should I just reboot the server or would that be silly? How should I identify and stop the backup.
Many thanks in advance
Norrie
