Package: zfs-auto-snapshot
Version: 1.2.2-1
Severity: Important
Dear Maintainer,
The update to zfs-auto-snapshot 1.2.2-1 has caused a regression preventing
hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly auto snapshots from running. Frequent
snapshots still work. Reverting the scripts to those used by the prior
version, 1.2.1-1, fixed the issue.
New script which does not work:
!/bin/sh
# Only call zfs-auto-snapshot if it's available
exec which zfs-auto-snapshot > /dev/null && \
zfs-auto-snapshot --quiet --syslog --label=daily --keep=31 //
Old Script that works:
#!/bin/sh
exec zfs-auto-snapshot --quiet --syslog --label=daily --keep=31 //
* What led up to the situation?
I installed zfs-auto-snapshot on my system running Debian Buster, and
enabled
frequent, hourly, and daily snapshots. I noticed that only frequent
snapshots
were running. In contrast, with the same settings, my Debian Stretch system
had functional frequent, hourly, and daily snapshots. Syslog only showed the
zfs-auto-snapshot running for frequent snapshots. There was no indication
that
the system attempted to run hourly or daily snapshots, as instructed.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I was able to resolve the issue by replacing the zfs-auto-snapshot scripts
in
/etc/cron.daily and /etc/cron.hourly with the scripts from 1.2.1-1.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Hourly and Daily snapshots now work as expected.
