Hallo all I have been trying to get LVM2 snapshot backups working here for a couple of days now. I suspect my problem is more bash related than rdiff-backup related :-)
On my target server I have the following in /root/.ssh/ authorized_keys command="/usr/local/bin/backup-zimbra-to-lnxbck01",from="05rnb-lnxbck01.test.com",no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-pty The backup-zimbra-to-lnxbck01 script looks like this. --------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin # Stop Zimbra /etc/init.d/zimbra stop # Take LVM snapshot lvcreate -L5000M -s -n zmb_snapshot /dev/zimbra/lvol0 mount /dev/zimbra/zmb_snapshot /mnt/zimbra-snapshot/ # Start Zimbra /etc/init.d/zimbra start # Rdiff-backup the Snapshot exec /usr/local/bin/rdiff-backup --server --restrict-read-only /mnt/zimbra-snapshot/ # Stop the LVM snapshot umount /mnt/zimbra-snapshot/ lvremove -f /dev/zimbra/zmb_snapshot --------------------------------------- My cron job on the backup server looks like this. @daily rdiff-backup 05rnb-zmb02::/mnt/zimbra-snapshot /home/backups/05rnb-zmbtest Now when I hash out all the LVM stuff and just copy files into /mnt/zimbra-snapshot/ it works perfectly, running the script as it is shown here I get the following errors in my /var/log/messages Sep 28 00:00:02 05rnb-lnxbck01 python: abrt: detected unhandled Python exception in /usr/bin/rdiff-backup Sep 28 00:00:02 05rnb-lnxbck01 abrtd: dumpsocket: New client connected Sep 28 00:00:02 05rnb-lnxbck01 abrtd: dumpsocket: Saved Python crash dump of pid 16970 to /var/spool/abrt/pyhook-1317160802-16970 Sep 28 00:00:02 05rnb-lnxbck01 abrtd: Directory 'pyhook-1317160802-16970' creation detected Sep 28 00:00:02 05rnb-lnxbck01 abrtd: Crash is in database already (dup of /var/spool/abrt/pyhook-1316728802-1793) Sep 28 00:00:02 05rnb-lnxbck01 abrtd: Deleting crash pyhook-1317160802-16970 (dup of pyhook-1316728802-1793), sending dbus signal Sep 28 00:00:02 05rnb-lnxbck01 abrtd: dumpsocket: Socket client disconnected What am I doing wrong?
