Hi,
I have a backup script which backups my system to a LTO tape drive, it
has been running fine for years, on ugprading to Centos 6.5 (tar 1.26)
I am now getting errors when verifiying.
tar command is :
tar --label="$backuplabel" -cvWf /dev/nst0 $directorieslist
There errors are mainly :
Mode differs
Mod time differs
but also quite a few :
Uid differs
The backup is done on a static directory (it has been rsynced from the
main working system) so the mod/mod times etc wont change between
writing and verify.
Any ideas what could be causing this or a way to debug how the
mode/mod times/uids are different?
I have tested on three different versions of tar (1.20, 1.26 and
latest 1.27) all with the same issue.
thanks
Toby
