[Bug 407952] New: Amanda has permission problems dumping LVM file systems
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=407952 Summary: Amanda has permission problems dumping LVM file systems Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: R.Vickers@cs.rhul.ac.uk QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- I recently reconfigured the Amanda backup software to use DUMP rather than GNUTAR on one file system. This failed, and logs included the messages: sendsize[19534]: time 2.006: getting size via dump for /home level 0 sendsize[19534]: time 2.007: calculating for device /dev/mapper/VolGroupA-home with ext3 sendsize[19534]: time 2.007: running "/sbin/dump 0Ssf 1048576 - /dev/mapper/VolGroupA-home" sendsize[19518]: time 2.034: waiting for any estimate child: 1 running sendsize[19534]: time 2.058: running /usr/lib/amanda/killpgrp sendsize[19534]: time 2.128: DUMP: Cannot open /dev/mapper/VolGroupA-home sendsize[19534]: time 2.129: DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted. The problem is that the LVM devices in /dev/mapper are not readable by group disk (unlike the /dev/sd* devices). A simple workround is to include chgrp disk /dev/mapper/VolGroup* chmod g+r /dev/mapper/VolGroup* in /etc/init.d/boot.local -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
