[BackupPC-users] Signal=PIPE on restore, and other errors

Searching through the mail archives, I see lots of posts about getting aborts with signal=PIPE on backups. I've got this problem on restore. I have been backing up 5 machines (linux and windows) using rsyncd flawlessly for a few months now. Thought it was about time to check restoring (backups a

I've been running 3.1.0 since it was created and I finished setting things up a while ago and it ran for months rock solid, but then one day some machines stopped working. One Gentoo vserver is running 4 of the machines. Gentoo host OS, Ubuntu, Debian and a Gentoo. BackupPC manages to backup t

The difference between theory and real world performance are always a lot of fun. RAID5 does striping and parity, so it could, should, and might be faster. A lot of it has to do with the drives, the controller, and even the OS. I went around with this with several people over the years,

Hi all can this patch be modified for showing the percentage of cpool space sorted by host in some kind of stacked graph? I thing that cound be usefull to know how much of the pool storage is used by host A and how much by host B and so on. I'm not interested in the size of the backup for each ho

That assumption is generally true especially for larger files. for small files, the whole array is dependant on the slowest drive in the array so the access time is slowest drive - controller overhead - parity penalty whcih means that in all circumstances, a file that is less than the stripe size
