Package: backupninja Version: 1.0.1-2 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Hi,
After upgrading to Stretch, backupninja's sys handler reports warnings saying that "the partition table for /dev/mapper/vg-lv could not be saved" (one warning per Logical Volume) Reading in /usr/share/backupninja/sys, it appears that the devices list is filtered from the 'sfdisk -l' output. Then devices are processed by 'sfdisk -d'. But the behavior of 'sfdisk -d' has changed: - Jessie: root@host:~# sfdisk -d /dev/mapper/vg0-lv0; echo $? 0 - Stretch: root@host:~# sfdisk -d /dev/mapper/vg0-lv0; echo $? sfdisk: /dev/mapper/vg0-lv0: does not contain a recognized partition table 1 It means that what was silently ignored is now clearly a case of failure. But as 'sfdisk -d' by itsel is a purpose of the sys plugin, and so can't be changed, the way devices are listed should probably be changed. Parsing 'lsblk -o kname,type' instead of 'sfdisk -l' to build the devices list fixed the problem on our server.
