i seem to be having this problem again.
backup reported this:
23:01:16 Dumping 7f000008.1000052 to
/home/backup/05Jul2004/db.domain.com-7f000008.1000052 ...
23:49:45 Transferred -1106358795 bytes
(2GB + whatever negative value)
but the file was only this:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 122727 Jul 5 23:49 db.domain.com-7f000008.1000052
even more curious is that the first time i tried to run the backup, it
failed:
03:27:15 Dumping 7f000008.1000052 to
/home/backup/05Jul2004/db.domain.com-7f000008.1000052 ...
04:10:37 VolDump (237d) failed on 1000064 with Unknown RPC2 return code 200
04:10:37 Dump of volume 7f000008 failed!
04:10:37 Dumping 7f000005.1000006 to
/home/backup/05Jul2004/db.domain.com-7f000005.1000006 ...
04:10:37 WriteDump: Error RPC2_SEFAIL2 (F) in CheckSideEffect
04:10:37 Transmitted bytes 0 != requested bytes 510906!
04:10:42 Transferred 12754145 bytes
running volutil dump by hand seems to work okay, though.
