Hi folks,
I recently did a restore of a xfsdump backup and I noticed that an
important file was missing after the restore completed. I tried going
back in using interactive mode to see what was up:
-----
-> ls /etc/mythtv
4032 session-settings
4127166 session-settings~
50343916 config.xml
4884092 mysql.txt~
-> add /etc/mythtv
-> extract
--------------------------------- end dialog
---------------------------------
xfsrestore: mkdir etc
xfsrestore: mkdir etc/mythtv
xfsrestore: dump session label: ""
xfsrestore: dump session id: f132cc65-5bd4-4a58-a810-52398fe99326
xfsrestore: stream 0, object 0, file 0
xfsrestore: restoring non-directory files
xfsrestore: media file 0 in object 0 of stream 0
xfsrestore: restoring etc/mythtv/session-settings (4032 221708883)
xfsrestore: restoring regular file ino 4032 etc/mythtv/session-settings
xfsrestore: truncating etc/mythtv/session-settings from 0 to 1170
xfsrestore: restoring etc/mythtv/session-settings~ (4127166 4079738789)
xfsrestore: restoring regular file ino 4127166 etc/mythtv/session-settings~
xfsrestore: truncating etc/mythtv/session-settings~ from 0 to 1169
xfsrestore: restoring etc/mythtv/mysql.txt~ (4884092 1828724895)
xfsrestore: restoring regular file ino 4884092 etc/mythtv/mysql.txt~
xfsrestore: truncating etc/mythtv/mysql.txt~ from 0 to 99
xfsrestore: restore complete: 125 seconds elapsed
xfsrestore: Restore Status: SUCCESS
root@jerky:/mnt/rescue#
-----
Note that the file "config.xml" is present in the directory listing, but
when the restore completes with a SUCCESS status, that file is *not*
present.
My backup command is:
xfsdump -e -l0 - / | pigz > $backupdir/mythbuntu.dgz
My restore command is:
pigz -d -c mythbuntu.dgz | xfsrestore -p 10 -r - /mnt/restore
I don't see any special attributes set on /etc/mythtv/config.xml:
$ lsattr /etc/mythtv/config.xml
---------------- /etc/mythtv/config.xml
And even so, if a file is excluded, I'd figure that it wouldn't show up
in the xfsrestore directory listing, right?
So what can cause a file to silently be skipped during restore? I'm
running the latest xfsdump/xfsrestore provided by Ubuntu 14.04, which is
3.1.1. I notice the same symptoms from my recovery environment, which
is SystemRescueCD 4.2.0
Thanks!
