Re: [BackupPC-users] Almost working

Well, I'll work on remote access later.

Now that I have BackupPC working on the system in the original distribution
file setup, I am ready to change the storage location to a large hard disk
just for archiving.  I stopped BackupPC and removed the client definition.
I then removed the /var/lib/BackupPC directory and all sub trees.  Next, I
created a LVM for the 500 GB disk and mounted it as /var/lib/BackupPC and
created the directories:
       cpool    pool    pc      trash   .ssh (containing my ssh keys)

When I thought I had everything back like it needed to be, I rebooted and
verified service BackupPC started with no errors.  Next I logged into
BackupPC.  I am getting a SELinux AVC error "SELinux is preventing
nm-system-setti (NetworkManager_t) "read" to ./PolicyKit (hald_var_lib_t).
It also said "You could try to restore the default system file context for
./PolicyKit,

        restorecon -v './PolicyKit'

I ran this as root and got the following response:

[root@archiver ~]# restorecon -v './PolicyKit'
restorecon:  stat error on ./PolicyKit:  No such file or directory
[root@archiver ~]# restorecon -v './PolicyKit(hald_var_lib_t)'
restorecon:  stat error on ./PolicyKit(hald_var_lib_t):  No such file or
directory

Below is my resulting disk structure when adding the 500 GB hd (/dev/sdc).
See if you see where this novice user failed to follow standard Linux
procedure.

I guess the default config shipping with the package you installed  
only allows access from localhost.
