Hello

I have the exact same problem with BackupPC 3.1.0 on Gentoo, using reiserfs. Permissions OK, backups OK, logs OK

Here is the output of the CGI:

Other info:
0 pending backup requests from last scheduled wakeup,
0 pending user backup requests,
0 pending command requests,
Pool is 0.00GB comprising 0 files and 1 directories (as of 10/29 01:00),
Pool hashing gives 0 repeated files with longest chain 0,
Nightly cleanup removed 0 files of size 0.00GB (around 10/29 01:00),
Pool file system was recently at 62% (10/29 13:55), today's max is 62% (10/29 01:00) and yesterday's max was 62%.

Host summary OK:

This status was generated at 10/29 14:12.
Pool file system was recently at 62% (10/29 14:05), today's max is 62% (10/29 01:00) and yesterday's max was 62%.
Hosts with good Backups
There are 6 hosts that have been backed up, for a total of:

10 full backups of total size 828.48GB (prior to pooling and compression),
30 incr backups of total size 22.26GB (prior to pooling and compression).

And here is the space used and remaining :

zeus ~ # df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3              37G  3.0G   32G   9% /
udev                   10M  144K  9.9M   2% /dev
/dev/sda4             1.4T  836G  523G  62% /home
shm                  1014M     0 1014M   0% /dev/shm

Did you find a solution ?

Best regards,

Olivier

backuppc should be in group backuppc only, www-data should be in group 
www-data only.
the permissions on /var/lib/backuppc should be user rwx, group rx, all none.

    I have a symlink from /var/lib/backuppc to my LVM-mountpoint, $TopDir
    in config.pl unchanged (/var/lib/backuppc).

    Despite the fact that the statistics on the status page are wrong
    everything seems to be fine, host summary works as expected, backups and
    restores are no problem ... what am I missing?

    Permissions are backuppc:backuppc - should www-data be a member of group
    backuppc? But why are all of the other informations correct?

    Thanks in advance,
    Bernhard



Permission settings are correct, hardlinks are definitely working, there 
are plenty of inodes left, and still the logs tell me that my [c]pool is 
0.00GB  - what else could I look for?
How does backuppc determine the [c]pool size/disk usage? Ok, ok I should 
read the sources... ;-)
What I really don't get is that the host summary is correct:
 >>140 full backups of total size 11086.51GB (prior to pooling and 
compression)
