fbackup : unable to stat file /var/opt/dce/rpc/local/

[kate32]

Hi,

Do you know what is this directory unable to stat file /var/opt/dce/rpc/local/ and if I can exclude from the fbackup to avoid the error ?
I have already excluded the following directory: /var/spool/sockets/pwgr

Thanks in advance.
Cheers

cannot stat messages from fbackup are typically files or direcories that are no longer there after the file list was built. i.e. temp files.

If you wish to exclude then exclude the directory like you did the other. "e /var/opt/dce/rpc/" in your graph file.

Shalom Kate,

I'd take a look at my configuration and see if there is a stale nfs mount or a filesystem mounted there.

Most of the data on /var is logs, with few notable exceptions. There seems to be some strangeness with these directories. This could indicate a disk problem or a failure to mount /var properly

bdf /var

Hopefully it doesn't show / it shows /var

Hi guys,

Thanks for the replies. I think I will update my script running by cron and check the warning message instead of excluded of the fbackup.
Do you know what kind of error we have with fbackup when it really fails?

fbackup has a number of exit codes . The man pages list 0, 1, 2 and 4 ( check for 0, 1 or 2 and you should be safe.

see man fbackup for details.
