Re: [BackupPC-devel] Posible bug

[Craig B. <cba...@us...>]

Eduardo,

What did you do when you said "rename the host"?  Did you manually edit the
hosts file, and mv /TOPDIR/pc/HOST_OLD to  /TOPDIR/pc/HOST_NEW?

BackupPC should remove the old status when it next reads the hosts file.
It does that on startup, on each wakeup if the mtime has changed, when it
receives a HUP signal, or when it receives a "server reload" command.  So
it's possible you noticed the stuck error before any of those events
happened.
