so the files were hardlinked. but, from reading the above, it seems that 
_none_ of the files was actually restored...

reading the manual, i would expect even with hardlinks=no one file to be 
restored, and only the correct one :)

also, the manual could be a bit more clear. it says :
"In such a case, set hardlinks=no and hard links will not be backed up. 
Note, using this option will most likely backup more data and on a 
restore the file system will not be restored identically to the original."

i think last sentence refers to 'hardlinks=no' setting, but at first i 
thought it was referring to '=yes' :)

as for what to do - i would expect all hardlinked files to be restored. 
if not, the system would not be restored as it was. also, what happens 
if you restore one hardlinked file (and others are not restored) - it 
has to be unlinked (and should only happen if hardlinks=no is explicitly 
set)

Yes, I saw this a few minutes ago.  Setting hardlinks = yes in my fileset
would fix this.  I'm debating what to do about this. It might be that for
/etc I don't need to worry about it.

I don't know if you've checked this in the manual, but there is
something that refers to behavior when encountering hard links in there.

Re: [Bacula-users] Restoring /etc/hosts on rhel4

2007-10-01 Thread jay 
I don't have a problem doing this here.  But if I am restoring 20,000 files
and some of those are hard linked, which I might or might not know about,
then it might be an issue.  I think some type of warning would've been
really nice in the restore email.  Maybe?

But didn't you just lear that Bacula handles hard links? ;-)

Admittedly, it might handle them differently... for now, I'd suggest 
to simple rm /etc/hosts and link it to the restored copy again.

Now that we have established that, is there a way to restore that file with
Bacula?  Or does Bacula not handle hard links?

Thanks for the quick responses

I'm not sure there, but I see two possible reasons for this: The 
second file could either be the /etc directory, or...

... the two files are not symlinked but hard links to only one set of 
data.

I think that, in case these files are hard links, Bacula should 
restore the one you explicitly selected, i.e. /etc/hosts. What it 
should do the other hard links is something *I* wouldn't want to decide...

Actually, I would strongly suspect that these two files are hard 
linked together.  I have an older RH based system that shows the 
following:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ stat /etc/hosts
  File: "/etc/hosts"
  Size: 365 Blocks: 8  IO Block: 4096   Regular File
Device: 803h/2051d  Inode: 82900   Links: 2
Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--)  Uid: (0/root)   Gid: (0/ root)
Access: Thu Sep 20 11:02:26 2007
Modify: Sun Sep  2 09:48:41 2007
Change: Sun Sep  2 09:48:41 2007

  Size: 365 Blocks: 8  IO Block: 4096   Regular File
Device: 803h/2051d  Inode: 82900   Links: 2

Notice that the Inode number is identical between these 2 files, which 
proves they are hard linked together.

If these files do have different inode numbers, they are different 
files.  If the inode numbers are the same, they are just a single file 
with multiple names.
