Folks, I'm running backuppc-2.1.2 on Gentoo stable with rsync-2.6.6-r1. I'm running into issues with backups failing with the error "Backup aborted (fileListReceive failed)" as stated in the subject.
I've tried downgrading rsync in addition to removing rsyncP (one user who I can backup from doesn't have this installed), to no avail. This user has rsync-2.6.6-r1, same as the others. I thought this had to do with exclusions which I commetned out and tested, to no avail. However, what I *did* notice was that rsync seems to crap out when trying to copy a socket. Here is the output from a command line dump: backupbox justin # sudo -u apache BackupPC_dump -v -f barbara cmdSystemOrEval: about to system /bin/ping -c 1 -w 3 barbara cmdSystemOrEval: finished: got output PING barbara.XXXXXXXXXX.com (10.20.30.195) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from barbara.XXXXXXXXXX.com (10.20.30.195): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.090 ms --- barbara.XXXXXXXXXX.com ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.090/0.090/0.090/0.000 ms cmdSystemOrEval: about to system /bin/ping -c 1 -w 3 barbara cmdSystemOrEval: finished: got output PING barbara.XXXXXXXXXX.com (10.20.30.195) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from barbara.XXXXXXXXXX.com (10.20.30.195): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.078 ms --- barbara.XXXXXXXXXX.com ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.078/0.078/0.078/0.000 ms CheckHostAlive: returning 0.078 started full dump, share=backups Connected to barbara:873, remote version 29 Connected to module backups Sending args: --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group --devices --links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --exclude=/home/*ublic --exclude=*.raw* --exclude=Data/ --exclude=data/ --exclude=/home/data --exclude=/home/Data --exclude=*.pik --exclude=*.b3s* --exclude=*.b3o* --exclude=*.mp3 --exclude=*.Mp3 --exclude=*.mP3 --exclude=*.MP3 --ignore-times . . overflow: flags=0x74 l1=114 l2=1701667173, lastname=barbara/.gnome-system-monitor.barbara overflow: flags=0x72 l1=45 l2=3681840, lastname=barbara/.gnome-system-monitor.barbara overflow: flags=0x63 l1=105 l2=1701602162, lastname= fileListReceive() failed Done: 0 files, 0 bytes Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed) cmdSystemOrEval: about to system /bin/ping -c 1 -w 3 barbara cmdSystemOrEval: finished: got output PING barbara.XXXXXXXXXX.com (10.20.30.195) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from barbara.XXXXXXXXXX.com (10.20.30.195): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.093 ms --- barbara.XXXXXXXXXX.com ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.093/0.093/0.093/0.000 ms cmdSystemOrEval: about to system /bin/ping -c 1 -w 3 barbara cmdSystemOrEval: finished: got output PING barbara.XXXXXXXXXX.com (10.20.30.195) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from barbara.XXXXXXXXXX.com (10.20.30.195): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.078 ms --- barbara.XXXXXXXXXX.com ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.078/0.078/0.078/0.000 ms CheckHostAlive: returning 0.078 Backup aborted (fileListReceive failed) dump failed: fileListReceive failed The lines that seems interesting are these: overflow: flags=0x74 l1=114 l2=1701667173, lastname=barbara/.gnome-system-monitor.barbara overflow: flags=0x72 l1=45 l2=3681840, lastname=barbara/.gnome-system-monitor.barbara overflow: flags=0x63 l1=105 l2=1701602162, lastname= I'm not sure what to try from here. I have noticed that removing these files seems to help, but that is not a practical solution. Any ideas? Thanks! -- Justin R.
