Is your root FS used for other, non-file storage, things as well?
no
For example, have you allocated some swap space there.
Swapping is only to swap partitions.
Is that
the file system that also is used for making pipes. Are some
files opened and immediately removed by some applications so
that their names no longer appear but the file and space is
still usable until the application terminates? Are any database
managers using that space?
Nothing I can think of, the server is still only being used as a SAMBA
file server. Backups are scheduled to run during the night when there
are no users supposed to access the server.
There's so many files on the server, how can I tell if some are missing?
Make lists of the files
Ok, I'll have to check that out ...
Meanwhile, another problem has occured today. The report says the following:
planner: prometheus /home 20060315 0 [dump larger than tape,
101387063 KB, full dump delayed]
Backups should automatically spread across multiple tapes in case they
don't fit onto one tape. That's why we are using a tape changer.
From what I've been reading, I was afraid it won't work and decided to
solve the problem once it occured.
Can I make entries in the disklist that do not represent mount points? I
could, for example, make seperate entries for some users who are using a
lot of disk space or even one for each user. But I would want to keep
an entry for /home so that I won't forget to make an entry in the
disklist for newly created users and have them in the backup nonetheless.
