[cedar-backup-users] Cedar Backup under Debian wheezy

[Kenneth P. <pro...@ie...>]

I've recently updated my home systems to Debian wheezy.  So far, I've
experienced a variety of problems with Cedar Backup when running under this
new Debian version: open/close of drive tray often doesn't work as
expected, and in a lot of cases growisofs can't successfully write an image
to the disc.  In some cases, Cedar Backup also has problems noticing that a
disc is already initialized, possibly due to the time it takes for media to
stabilize.

Many of these problems appear to be tied to the new 3.2.0 kernel.  I was
able to get my backups to complete by falling back to my old kernel
(2.6.32), although I did also have to change the refresh media delay in
cback.conf.  My main backup hardware is fairly old (motherboard circa 2001,
with a somewhat newer LiteOn DVD writer), and that may also be contributing
to the behavior.

I've never before had problems like this when upgrading Debian or moving to
a newer kernel, so I'm a little mystified.   If any other Cedar Backup
users are experiencing similar problems after upgrading to wheezy, I would
appreciate hearing about it.  I'd like to make sure I address whatever
problems you're seeing.  If I hear about other problems, that may make it
easier to figure out what's going on.

Thanks,

KEN
