Hi, I have been browsing through the log files containing the error messages and I found a very surprising pattern. In the last two weeks, the errors were caused (exclusively) by the following files:
> /backups/HIS/history/2009-04-15_13h00m01s/172.26.26.1/xxx/berichten/2626/klaar/15632 > /backups/HIS/history/2009-04-15_13h00m01s/172.26.65.1/xxx/berichten/2665/klaar/15632 > /backups/HIS/history/2009-04-13_13h00m01s/172.26.43.1/xxx/berichten/2643/klaar/24681 > /backups/HIS/history/2009-04-12_13h00m01s/172.26.43.1/xxx/berichten/2643/klaar/24681 > /backups/HIS/history/2009-04-10_13h00m01s/172.26.19.1/xxx/berichten/2619/Klaar/24692 > /backups/HIS/history/2009-04-08_13h00m01s/172.26.26.1/xxx/berichten/2626/klaar/15614 > /backups/HIS/history/2009-04-08_13h00m01s/172.26.46.1/xxx/berichten/3646/klaar/24681 > /backups/HIS/history/2009-03-30_13h00m01s/172.26.31.1/xxx/berichten/2631/klaar/24681 > /backups/HIS/history/2009-03-29_13h00m01s/172.26.21.1/xxx/berichten/2622/klaar/24681 > /backups/HIS/history/2009-03-29_13h00m01s/172.26.34.1/xxx/berichten/2634/klaar/24681 > /backups/HIS/history/2009-03-29_13h00m01s/172.26.39.1/xxx/berichten/2639/klaar/24692 Note that the file names (like "24692") were automatically generated on totally different days by software running on multiple locations in The Netherlands. These files were then rsync'ed to our backup server, which creates an archive identified by a directory with a date/time stamp. The above list contains files from 9 of these locations (identified by their IP address), from 7 archives (identified by their date/time stamp). As you can see, the file names (belonging to files with totally different contents) show a weird pattern. For example, six files named "24681" from six different locations (remember, files do /not/ contain the same data and were generated on geographically different locations) were causing problems on five different days. Two files named "15632" from two different locations have recently caused problems on the same day. Last, but not least, two files named "24692" from two different locations caused problems on two totally different days. Note that some of the files date back to 2007, and some were created in January of this year. File size varies from a few bytes to a few kilobytes. The directory "klaar" generally contains 10.000-60.000 files. It is impossible that this is a simple coincidence, but I really have no idea what is causing the pattern... -- Bas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
