Package: faubackup
Version: 0.5.8
My backup is stored on logical volumes. After I resized the logical
volume, fauback did not do an incremental backup, but copied everything.
The filesystem used is ext3.
I tracked down the problem to changed inode numbers (of course), e.g.:
Before resize:
50012 -rwSrwSr-- 34 admin www-data 624 Jan 14 2004 index.html
After resize:
4669533 -rwSrwSr-- 2 admin www-data 624 Jan 14 2004 index.html
Apparently fauback uses the inode number as the primary criterion for
finding out, if a file has changed. This is bad if you change the
filesystem, resize it, etc. Maybe using the same algorithm as rsync
would help?
I am using Debian Sarge, Kernel 2.6.15, and the following versions
faubackup 0.5.8
libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22
libpopt0 1.7-5
perl-modules 5.8.4-8
Ciao,
Robert
