Package: mylvmbackup
Version: 0.9-1
Severity: normal

By default mylvmbackup uses the prefix "backup" for naming the compressed backup file and as leading directory for the backed up files.

If you want to get backups without any prefix and try to set
prefix=
in /etc/mylvmbackup.conf, mylvmbackup exits with an error:
Error: Please make sure Temp dir (/snap//) is empty.

The Temp dir was empty before starting mylvmbackup, but the aborted backup leaves a directory
<mountdir>/-pos
behind.

Other perhaps relevant parameters in mylvmbackup.conf:
xfs=1
mountdir=/snap/
relpath=/var/lib/mysql/
backuptype=tar
(omitting the trailing slashes doesn't change the error)

Seems like this happens because of mylvmbackup trying to store the two internal files
*_mysql.pos
*_my.cnf
in a special subdirectory. (Why is that?)
