[BackupPC-users] $Conf{UserCmdCheckStatus} not working?

[Till H. <hof...@go...>]

Hello everybody,

I have a small bash script which creates an LVM snapshot for every LVM
volume I back up. If the script can't create the logical volume, it exits
with the return value of the lvcreate command, as you can see here:

> lvcreate -n "$orig"backup -s "$devicedir$orig" -l 100%FREE
> retlv=$?
> if [ $retlv -ne 0 ]; then
> echo "Error creating logical volume. return value: $retlv"
> exit $retlv
> fi


I set $Conf{UserCmdCheckStatus} to 1, so the backup should be aborted if
the script returns an error, shouldn't it? This is what happens:

> Executing DumpPreShareCmd: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l backuppc singsung sudo
> /usr/local/bin/pre-backup /mnt/backup/homelv
>   Logical volume "homelvbackup" already exists in volume group "cryptpool"
> Error creating logical volume. return value: 5
>
> full backup started for directory /mnt/backup/homelv (baseline backup #36)
>
>
Maybe I just read the manual wrong, but isn't backuppc supposed to abort
this backup?
Or did I do a mistake in my script (I don't use bash too often)?

Here is the complete script: http://pastebin.com/y0gpAh6V


Thanks for any advice
