I had BackupPC installed on Jan 20 this year. It has been running successfully, backing up the host and two clients for a week now. Yesterday the 9th it was updated and now does not run. INSTALL HISTORY # less /var/log/yum.* | grep BackupPC Jan 20 14:58:46 Installed: BackupPC.noarch 3.0.0-3.fc7 Feb 09 17:51:53 Updated: BackupPC.noarch 3.1.0-1.fc7 Feb 09 22:50:17 Erased: BackupPC Feb 09 22:52:09 Installed: BackupPC - 3.1.0-1.fc7.noarch
ERROR OUTPUT # /etc/init.d/backuppc start Starting BackupPC: 2008-02-10 10:25:56 Can't create a test hardlink between a file in /data/bilbo/backup/BackupPC/pc and /data/bilbo/backup/BackupPC/cpool. Either these are different file systems, or this file system doesn't support hardlinks, or these directories don't exist, or there is a permissions problem, or the file system is out of inodes or full. Use df, df -i, and ls -ld to check each of these possibilities. Quitting... END OUTPUT The device an external USB disk, formatted as ext3, is only 10% full. I then did as suggested in the error output and found no issues with permissions or inodes. To confirm this I entered a shell as user backuppc and created a file under the folder /........./BackupPC/pc/ and then hardlinked under /......../BackupPC/ on the external disk. When I run: bash-3.2$ /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_dump -v -f bagend Can't connect to server (unix connect: Connection refused) Where do I go from here?
