Also, maybe you really have a corrupt file system or a hardware error causing the tar error exit.You could try running 'tar -cvf - /target_dir |cat /dev/null' to see if it completes without errors. Don't omit the pipe - if gnu tar outputs directly to /dev/null it will not bother to read the file contents. Also, since this is on the same host, are you sure you aren't recursively backing up the archive filesystem where the contents are being extracted? -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup failing with tar error 512
Hi Les David,
I also run BackupPC with VISUDO and also get the 512 error on localhost
when backing up home. I tried switching it to rsync, but could not get
it to work that way.
Since then, my hard drive mounted at /var/lib/backuppc has failed. I
thought that it's failing may have be part of the problem causing the
512 error. I have since replaced the hard drive and set it up like
before. I am still getting messages that tar exited with error 512'
and that a partial backup was saved.
And, YES, backuppc is running as root on my system by using 'sudo'. The
command line in BPC is '$Conf{TarClientCmd} = /usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C
sudo /bin/tar -c -v -f - -C $shareName --totals'.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup failing with tar error 512
Hello Norberto,
On the H-89, H17/Z67-IDE and the H8, H17/Z67-IDE I have found no
problems since we changed the two chips to faster version on the H-89,
H17/Z67-IDE. A few weeks ago when I was testing the Z67 card parity
chips is when I first noticed that the H-89, H37/Z67-IDE machine wasn't
working just right.
Yesterday, I worked with HDOS all day and it seems to be working OK.
Today, I started working on the CP/M side and had some weird stuff
happening. After a lot of testing and trying things, it hit me that it
was a read/write issue and probably the same thing that I ran into on
the other H-89 that replacing the two chips fixed. I will probably
remove these chips from one of the other units tomorrow and see if that
clears the problem. Or since the H8 unit is outboard and the H37's is
also running outboard, I can just switch the CF card adapter. If the
problem clears up, then I will be pretty certain that all is OK. Also,
I am not certain that I have the latest firmware in the H37/Z67-IDE
unit. I will check this tomorrow as well and report back.
