Hi Craig, In backing up my root filesystem, I have /mnt/backuppc/all as the mount point for the backuppc fuse filesystem.
Since xattr/SELinux are not properly implemented, rsync I get the following error when running BackupPC_dump: rsync: get_acl: sys_acl_get_file(mnt/backuppc/all, ACL_TYPE_ACCESS): No such file or directory (2) IO error encountered -- skipping file deletion The file is of course there and detected my rsync. My understanding is that all subsequent file deletion is skipped (is that right???) which could lead to very corrupt backups even if there is just a minor xattr error. Even worse, backuppc doesn't show this as an error on the web interface... So, unless one regularly reads through all the lines of each XferLOG it is possible that *all* of your backups could be corrupted without you ever noting it. Is my understanding correct? I know one can override this behavior by adding the --ignore-errors flag but that could introduce equally bad results. It would seem to me that the 'right' answer would be to at least have backuppc better flag and tabulate errors that could lead to corrupt backups... What do you think?
