We are having a problem with many of our BackupPC servers in our company
at the moment. We are running Debian Lenny and BackupPC 3.1.0. The
data volumes since we upgraded to this version have seemed to just be
filling up at a constant rate.
The web interface is saying that the pool is 136.98GB but when you do a
"du -smh" on the topdir "/var/data/backuppc" it returns 543GB used.
We have the topdir mounted as /var/data/backuppc and symlinked to
/var/lib/backuppc. The filesystem that the topdir resides on is JFS.
I've double checked the permissions on the topdir and sub-directories.
I have searched through the backuppc-users archive and have tried the
fixes mentioned here:
http://www.backupcentral.com/phpBB2/two-way-mirrors-of-external-mailing-lists-3/backuppc-21/pool-is-0-00gb-comprising-0-files-and-0-directories-98371/
and here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/backuppc-users AT lists.sourceforge DOT
net/msg09902.html
But to no avail.
When I run the BackupPC_nightly script as the backuppc user with the
args "0 255" I get the expected output.
$ ./BackupPC_nightly 0 255
Here's some of the output from that command. There's nothing in the
stats for the pool and the cpool stats ONLY work when line 82 of the
Lib.pm "$IODirentOk" is set to 0 (I know this is due to issue using
IODirent and certain filesystems).
BackupPC_stats 253 = pool,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
BackupPC_stats 254 = pool,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
BackupPC_stats 255 = pool,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
BackupPC_stats 0 = cpool,553,18,192124,58280,0,0,2,1,0,157,3539
BackupPC_stats 1 = cpool,512,17,605328,375780,0,0,1,1,0,43,6530
BackupPC_stats 2 = cpool,553,17,249388,28828,0,0,1,1,0,253,10237
But nothing seems to be being deleted when the script completes.
I tried running the script with "perl -w" and get back the following two
lines in between every line of the normal output. So:
$ perl -w ../BackupPC_nightly 0 255
Here's some of the output from that command:
Use of uninitialized value in string ne at
/usr/share/backuppc/lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm line 487.

/usr/share/backuppc/lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm line 528.

BackupPC_stats 254 = cpool,546,17,168344,14688,0,0,0,0,0,115,874742
This is what's on line 487 of the Lib.pm:
from_to($path, "utf8", $need->{charsetLegacy})
if ( $need->{charsetLegacy} ne "" );
return if ( !opendir(my $fh, $path) );
if ( $IODirentOk ) {
@entries = sort({ $a->{inode} <=> $b->{inode} } readdirent($fh));
map { $_->{type} = 0 + $_->{type} } @entries; # make type numeric
} else {
@entries = map { { name => $_} } readdir($fh);
}
and this is what's on line 528:
if ( $need->{charsetLegacy} ne "" ) {
for ( my $i = 0 ; $i < @entries ; $i++ ) {
from_to($entries[$i]{name}, $need->{charsetLegacy}, "utf8");
}
}
return \@entries;
}
I know it's got something to do with the IODirent, I'm just not sure of
what or the fix.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Joe.
