Package: tar
Version: 1.20-1+lenny1
Severity: normal
Here's my script:
tar --create \
--totals \
--verbose \
--one-file-system \
--gzip \
--exclude-from=$EXCLUDE_FILE \
--file="$TARGET/$MOUNTPOINTNAME.full.tz" \
--listed-incremental="$TARGET/$MOUNTPOINTNAME.full.snar" \
$SOURCE > $LOG 2>&1 || echo $0: tar exit=$?
Here is the debug information from the log:
# grep -v ": /" root.full.log | grep "tar:"
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
tar: Removing leading `/' from hard link targets
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
Checking one or two files in the archive tend to suggest the backup was
successful. And eyeballing the log (which is huge) there are some "socket
ignored" logs...but these are/should not be the cause of a fatal exit.
It seems impossible to know which file, or event failure happened.
