Re: [BackupPC-users] Bug: Cannot use rsyncd on RHEL4 hosts: child exited prematurely
Maybe I shouldn't chime in, because I've only been half following this thread, but I can't help wondering if you've looked into all the firewall/timeout possibilities? Sometimes those settings get hosed during an upgrade too. ck Les Mikesell wrote: Timothy J. Massey wrote: Remember, this happens on *3* different servers, with 3 different BackupPC servers.

Maybe, but I think there is something subtle involved. I back up a bunch of CentOS 4.x boxes without any problems like that and it's compiled from the same source rpms. We use CentOS 4 with rsync from Dag's repository (dag.wieers.com). Never had any rsync problems. Nils Breunese. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [BackupPC-users] backuppc and opensuse 10.2 clients
Is this via rsync? I think it's important that everybody be running the same exact version of rsync. I had the same problem (/var failing, other /'s working (on Fedora though)) and, IIRC, updating rsync fixed it. YMMV, ck Hello I recently installed a few opensuse 10.2 workstations in my network (upgrade from older suse versions) and the backup of these workstations ceased to work. The error is that listFileReceived() fails for the /var partition. Strange is that the backup of the /root and /etc partitions are correctly done beforehand. Here is the log excerpt: Xfer PIDs are now 11811 Got remote protocol 29 Negotiated protocol version 26 fileListReceive() failed Done: 0 files, 0 bytes Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed) Backup aborted (fileListReceive failed) Any idea?

[BackupPC-users] I am getting sick of Aborted by Signal PIPE Errors
Full backups seem to work every time. Incrementals are now consistently
aborting by signal PIPE. I upped the logging level to 9 and looked at
the transer log after the most recent attempt. I still can't really
decifer what's happening. Can someone more knowledgeable tell me what
this means? And perhaps, suggest a solution? If anyone would like more
info, just tell me what to post.
Thank you so much.

Re: [BackupPC-users] I am getting sick of Aborted by Signal PIPE Errors
I am sorry. I should have mentioned that I did that already. (A long time ago, as per someone on this lists suggestion.) Any other ideas? Thanks, ck Hi just a suggestion: if you are using rsync and has upgraded rsync somewhere (or if there's the possibility that this has happened), try to look for --devices options in your BackupPC config file(s) and change them all to -D.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Which version to use for new install
Thanks. Ubuntu is actually the only other distro besides redhat, fedora and k12ltsp (all RedHat off shoots) that I have ever installed or used. That easy install sure is tempting. My favorite distribution is Ubuntu 6.06. It will be supported for another 5 1/2 years, is easy to keep updated, and is a breeze to get BackupPC running on - apt-get install backuppc, add machines to hosts, configure SSH keys, and voila. I have several clients running BackupPC on Ubuntu at this point and haven't had any issues so far (at least none that weren't my fault :) Aaron On Tue, 2006-10-10 at 11:21 -0700, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi folks, I'm currently having a lot of Aborted with signal PIPE errors.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Which version to use for new install
Thanks a lot for the advice. I'll check out CentOS for sure. I've heard it mentioned a lot, but never looked into it for my purposes. ck ck wrote: So I find myself wondering.

If you want to build a server that you can leave running for a long time without having to upgrade the OS, I'd go with CentOS (http:// www.centos.org/) instead of Fedora. CentOS is a de-branded version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (which in turn is based on Fedora Core), so you'll barely notice the difference, but CentOS has a much longer support cycle. The current release will receive security fixes till at least 2012 (and CentOS 5 will be released in a couple of months). No special recipe for the install, just follow the instructions on the site: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html Nils Breunese. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[BackupPC-users] Upgrading RSYNC on FC3
Hi, I've got a problem that I've traced back to incompatible rsync version on the server that I'm trying to back up. I'm 99% sure I need to upgrade rsync on this server. It's so old that yum update xxx or yum upgrade xxx never really does anything it just says no packages marked for update no errors or anything. So, can anyone suggest a method for updating rsync on this old server that won't lead to other problems/incompatibilities? Thanks, ck - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[BackupPC-users] OT - Can someone recommend an ATA controller for a big hard drive?
Hi Folks, I really want to get a bigger hard drive as part of upgrading my BackupPC machine to the latest version of Fedora Core and BackupPC. I'm over 80% disk utilization right now. I'm using a 120 Gig HD right now to back up a 200 gig and a 60 gig server. I'm extremely tempted by this deal at Fry's... http://www.outpost.com/entry?site=op:mfe031406sku=4596287 The problem is that my backup server is a Dell 466 Celeron workstation. I know I'm going to need a PCI card to drive this 400 Gig UDMA HD. So, does anyone know of a decent, cheapish, card that will be picked up by Fedora and bridge the gap between my old Celeron based computer and this monster hard drive? Thanks, ck - Take Surveys.
