Package: amanda-server
Version: 1:2.5.2p1-1
Severity: minor
Hello,
until amanda-server version 1:2.5.1p1-2.1 I can use a holdingdisk
definition like this, where /amholding/ is the mountpoint of an own
ext2 partition.
holdingdisk amholding1 {
directory "/amholding/"
chunksize 10000 MB
use -10 MB
}
Starting with 1:2.5.2p1-0ms1, which is a backport of 1:2.5.2p1-1 from
lenny to etch, my backups fails completely with the error message:
driver: FATAL flush line 1: syntax error (skipping != FLUSH)
The reason is the existence of some other stuff in /amholding/. In my
case /amholding/lost+found. Which was no problem with older versions.
The solution was to move the holdingdisk one degree down in the path.
holdingdisk amholding1 {·
directory "/amholding/holding/"·
chunksize 10000 MB·
use -10 MB·
}
I suggest that you put something like this in
/user/share/doc/amanda/README.First or similar:
----------------------------------------------------------
WARNING
Amanda 1:2.5.2p1-1 does not accept stuff like lost+found
directories in its holding disk area. If your holdingdisk
is in the root of an own Partition move it down in an
separate subdirectory. Otherwise your backups will fail.
