From: Paul Thompson <pt@xxxxxxxxxx> To: John Austin <ja@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Dump/Restore Errors Date: 03/04/2010 07:17:19 PM I think I deleted all the logs I generated because this had bothered me enough that I was going to file a bugzilla on it. Maybe what you're noticing is subltly different from what I had happen but I remember being surprised that no one would have remarked on it previously. I duplicated it on systems from FC9 through 12 and could not convince myself it was anything other than some debugging print statement accidentally left "on" in the restore command. I recall suspecting a selinux component to it, but when I actually traced the error to which file was being backed up at the time, it wound up being bogus stuff every time. FIFO files, temporary mozilla files, etc. I did some combination of dump -v, strace in a logged screen session and a restore -d and strace in a logged screen session. ---------------------------------------------------------- Hi Paul and Daniel I have now investigated further and found the files that are causing the problem In each case the problem seems to be "an extra block" File header, ino 1048703; predicted 0 blocks, got 1 blocks This doesn't help me much as I don't know what it really means All the problem files but one do not seem too important to me but /var/lib/rpm/Providename might well be ! Six are associated with kde It is still not clear to me whether 1. the original file system has the 9 errors and dump/restore detects them 2. the file system is correct and dump/restore incorrectly indicates an error (and possibly corrupts the restored file system) 3. the error messages are miss-leading and nothing to do with SELinux Do you think I should submit a bugzilla ? Against dump/restore ? Are there any other tests I can usefully make ?
