Hi, I'm running BackupPC 3.0.0 under Ubuntu. I'm having problems similar to the ones some people have had with 3.1.0 on XFS, but I also did some other odd things before this started happening, so I want to relate the whole scenario, in case I did something else to break it.
I accidentally corrupted the filesystem /var/lib/backuppc lived on. Luckily, I had a backup of the backup filesystem (which contains about 700GB of compressed data), just a giant tarball of the whole thing, sitting on another server. It was from a couple weeks ago. So I blew away the old (ext3) volume from my LVM volume group and put a new XFS filesystem in its place, then I extracted the tarball, giving me a several-week-old snapshot of BackupPC. Then I just started BackupPC up again. Now, BackupPC_nightly takes a zillion years to run: 2008-12-16 01:00:01 Running 2 BackupPC_nightly jobs from 0..15 (out of 0..15) 2008-12-16 01:00:01 Running BackupPC_nightly -m 0 127 (pid=7491) 2008-12-16 01:00:01 Running BackupPC_nightly 128 255 (pid=7492) [...] 2008-12-16 23:11:42 Finished admin1 (BackupPC_nightly 128 255) 2008-12-16 23:12:42 BackupPC_nightly now running BackupPC_sendEmail 2008-12-16 23:12:45 Finished admin (BackupPC_nightly -m 0 127) It used to take about an hour, now it takes 22 hours. I found mailing list threads about similar problems in 3.1.0, but they seemed to have to do with IO::Dirent.pm, which isn't even installed on my system. Should I update to 3.1.0 and then install the patch for the Dirent problem? Or is it maybe not an XFS bug, and I did something wrong when I restored the BackupPC filesystem? Something else?
