Package: backuppc Version: 3.2.1-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
there is a constant error in my backuppc backups. I think this is because of the length of the relevant file name, which gets even longer when escaped by backuppc and hits the 255 character limit of ext3fs. The file in question is in the opera icon cache, it's called data%3Aimage%2Fpng,%89PNG%0D%0A%1A%0A%00%00%00%0DIHDR%00%00%00%10%00%00%00%10%08%02%00%00%00%90%91h6%00%00%00%19IDAT(%91c%BCd%AB%C2%40%0A%60%22I%F5%A8%86Q%0DCJ%03%00%DE%B5%01S%07%88%8FG%00%00%00%00IEND%AEB%60%82 According to wc -m, that's 225 bytes long. backuppc reports: Unable to open /var/lib/backuppc/pc/localhost/new/f%2fhome/fmbelow/f.opera/ficons/fdata%253Aimage%252Fpng,%2589PNG%250D%250A%251A%250A%2500%2500%2500%250DIHDR%2500%2500%2500%2510%2500%2500%2500%2510%2508%2502%2500%2500%2500%2590%2591h6%2500%2500%2500%2519IDAT(%2591c%25BCd%25AB%25C2%2540%250A%2560%2522I%25F5%25A8%2586Q%250DCJ%2503%2500%25DE%25B5%2501S%2507%2588%258FG%2500%2500%2500%2500IEND%25AEB%2560%2582 for writing Botch, no matches on /var/lib/backuppc/pc/localhost/new/f%2fhome/fmbelow/f.opera/ficons/fdata%253Aimage%252Fpng,%2589PNG%250D%250A%251A%250A%2500%2500%2500%250DIHDR%2500%2500%2500%2510%2500%2500%2500%2510%2508%2502%2500%2500%2500%2590%2591h6%2500%2500%2500%2519IDAT(%2591c%25BCd%25AB%25C2%2540%250A%2560%2522I%25F5%25A8%2586Q%250DCJ%2503%2500%25DE%25B5%2501S%2507%2588%258FG%2500%2500%2500%2500IEND%25AEB%2560%2582 (72e2a83d50e324a05f04cceab2827ab1) backuppc escapes each % as %25, according to wc -m the result is 327 characters. In my case this doesn't really matter, the opera icon cache isn't critical, but there seems to be a general problem with backuppc's strategy of renaming files. backuppc should be able to backup long file names, up to the filesystem limits. Probably it needs to store long critical filenames separately. Here's a message from the backuppc-users list that helped me to understand the problem: http://www.mail-archive.com/backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg19842.html Cheers Michael -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (10, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages backuppc depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu1 ii apache2 2.2.22-1 ii apache2-mpm-prefork [httpd] 2.2.22-1 ii bzip2 1.0.6-1 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.41 ii dpkg 1.16.1.2 ii exim4 4.77-1 ii exim4-daemon-light [mail-transport-agent] 4.77-1+b1 ii iputils-ping 3:20101006-1+b1 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.30-6 ii libc6 2.13-26 ii libcompress-zlib-perl 2.037-1 ii libtime-modules-perl 2011.0517-1 ii libwww-perl 6.04-1 ii perl [libdigest-md5-perl] 5.14.2-7 ii samba-common-bin 2:3.6.3-1 ii smbclient 2:3.6.3-1 ii tar 1.26-4 ii ucf 3.0025+nmu2 Versions of packages backuppc recommends: ii libfile-rsyncp-perl 0.68-1.1+b3 ii libio-dirent-perl 0.04-2+b3 ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:5.9p1-2 ii rrdtool 1.4.7-1 ii rsync 3.0.9-1 Versions of packages backuppc suggests: ii chimera2 [www-browser] 2.0a19-6 ii chromium [www-browser] 17.0.963.56~r121963-1 ii epiphany-browser [www-browser] 3.2.1-2 ii iceweasel [www-browser] 10.0.2-1 ii konqueror [www-browser] 4:4.6.5-1 ii links2 [www-browser] 2.5-1 ii lynx-cur [www-browser] 2.8.8dev.9-3 ii midori [www-browser] 0.4.3-1 ii netrik [www-browser] 1.16.1-1 ii netsurf-gtk [www-browser] 2.8-2 ii opera [www-browser] 11.61.1250 ii par2 0.4-11 ii w3m [www-browser] 0.5.3-5 -- Configuration Files: /etc/backuppc/config.pl [Errno 13] Keine Berechtigung: u'/etc/backuppc/config.pl' /etc/backuppc/hosts [Errno 13] Keine Berechtigung: u'/etc/backuppc/hosts' /etc/backuppc/localhost.pl [Errno 13] Keine Berechtigung: u'/etc/backuppc/localhost.pl' -- debconf information: backuppc/restart-webserver: true * backuppc/configuration-note: * backuppc/reconfigure-webserver: apache2 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
