Poking around in the journalctl output, I find:
May 28 13:08:56 osprey BackupPC[3990]: 2017-05-28 13:08:56 PoolV3Enabled
is set, and can't create a test hardlink between a file in
/raptor/pc-backups//pc and /raptor/pc-backups//cpool. Either these are
different file systems, or this file system doesn't support hardlinks,
or these directories don't exist, or there is a permissions problem, or
the file system is out of inodes or full. Use df, df -i, and ls -ld to
check each of these possibilities. Quitting...
Well, I'd removed the entire filetree that contained the version 3 pool
in cleaning things up, but forgot to turn the upgrade option off in
config.pl. (This maybe shouldn't be a fatal error?)
So, config.pl now fixed and the service is now running, as is a full
backup of the Win 7 PC. Will report back when/if it finishes.
Thanks, again.
Today's update: The full backup ran for just a few minutes over 24
hours and was killed by BackupPC; log says:
2017-05-29 15:34:24 Backup failed on pelican (BackupPC_tarExtract exited
with fail status 256)
2017-05-29 15:34:27 Started full backup on pelican (pid=15026, share=C$)
As you can see, a new full backup was kicked off almost immediately.
I've googled the "BackupPC_tarExtract exited with fail status 256"
message and found many hits, going back to version 3 of BackupPC. Seems
to be a problem with Linux 'tar' extracting the incoming data.
There was a thread just a month ago (late April/early May) on this
mailing list entitled "Multiple issues on newly installed 4.1.0" which
discussed the apparent same issue of failing backups due to a problem in
'tar.' In this thread, Craig Barratt wrote that he had pushed a fix to
git for this issue. I'm guessing this hasn't yet made it into the 4.1.2
version in the Hobbes Fedora 25 repo?
Any other info would be appreciated. Thanks.
