- I'm using fbackup on three different levels (0, 3, 6) and I am
- quite satisfied with how it works, except for the full backup.
- It seems to 'give in' on its way down the directory list and
- stops being able to open more directories. This morning it
- got all the way down to the middle of /usr as shown here:
-
- fbackup(1004): session begins on Wed Jan 06 04:00:02 1993
- fbackup(1504): could not open directory `.' (/usr/local/dos/tc/lib)
- fbackup(1504): could not open directory `.' (/usr/local/dos/tc/tour)
- fbackup(1504): could not open directory `.' (/usr/local/dos/td)
- .
- :
- fbackup(1504): could not open directory `.' (/usr/local/src)
- fbackup(1504): could not open directory `.' (/usr/local/tex)
- fbackup(1504): could not open directory `.' (/usr/local/word)
- fbackup(1504): could not open directory `.' (/usr/mail)
- fbackup(1504): could not open directory `.' (/usr/man)
- .
- :
- fbackup(1504): could not open directory `.' (/usr/tftpdir)
- fbackup(1504): could not open directory `.' (/usr/tmp)
- fbackup(3223): volume 1 has been used 6 time(s) (maximum: 100)
- fbackup(3212): writing volume 1 to the output file /dev/dat
-
- What is happening here?
-
- From 'bdf' I find out that used discspace is about 0.95 GB
- but the tape is to take up to 1.2 GB.
-
- From the index file I can see that some of the files in between
- are backed up, especially to beginning. But none of the last
- files are backed up.
-
- To me it looks like a buffer is getting full.
- Is it possible to configure these things?
- What is going on?
-
- Thanks in advance.

- -Kalli.
