Re: [BackupPC-devel] Posible bug

[Marc G. <m.g...@li...>]

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I changed the hosts name by changing  the /etc/backuppc/hosts file.

And then changing it in the backuppc folder via mv old_host new_host.

Looking forward to your response.

Regards,

Marc

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.

Hi,

 I think I found a small bug...

 How to reproduce:

-add a host
-try to make a backup and fail for soem reason (in my case was ssh privileges)
-rename the host

The error stays and wont go away until you create a host with the original name and then delete the host. I received warning mails until I did this.

I am running 3.3, I don't know if it was fixed in 4.x as I had not needed to upgrade yet.

thanks.
