If anyone besides Phil was following this I found the problem, thought I'd post it up. It was not a bacula problem but, someone may run in to this at some point:
-My backups all go to file storage on a remote storage server -I auto mount (via fstab) the storage server to /mnt/<server> -I moved the server the other day to a rack in another data center: forgot to plug the network cable in when I powered the machine, realized it a few minutes later and plugged it in...no problem -Fast forward:.:"OK" e-mails come in every night from the backup server -Last night I got the fatal error -Today I see the "/" filesystem is full -Begin sending dumb messages to the bacula board Anyone have the answer yet? When I moved the machine and booted it without the network cable it never mounted the remote storage server /mnt/<server>. Today, in troubleshooting, I restarted the machine, which, upon coming up, mounted the remote server. So, the last few days the server has been backing up to itself in the /mnt directory. I didn't realize it because I had re-mounted the remote server. I unmounted the remote and found, big surprise, about 40G of backup data. One more Sysadmin 101 problem solved. Now I have to find my brain...

I am moving my configs and scripts off now - If I can't find the problem soon the system will be executed with extreme prejudice. Square 1 here I come.

How much data can you actually find? I hate to be the voice of paranoia here, but, if the discrepancy is large -- how certain are you that the machine has not been rooted? -- Phil Stracchino [EMAIL PROTECTED] Renaissance Man, Unix generalist, Perl hacker Mobile: 603-216-7037 Landline: 603-886-3518 ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
