Hello list readers,
I am doing rsync backups based on Mike Rubels recipe
(http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/). I am creating lvm
snapshots of partitions whose contents changes fast. In order to verify
if evyerthing went ok, I do md5sum checks on all files and everytime some
files are failing the test. Here is a list of them:
./amavis/db/__db.001: FAILED
./amavis/db/__db.002: FAILED
./amavis/db/__db.003: FAILED
./amavis/quarantine/spam-Tj3tsKAU7G3c.gz: FAILED
./amavis/quarantine/spam-VyKl+vwlBxlY.gz: FAILED
./amavis/quarantine/spam-pAMwYjbMNhuP.gz: FAILED
./amavis/quarantine/spam-36fTxT+IWOPS.gz: FAILED
./amavis/quarantine/virus-tvUARLx2txFB: FAILED
./amavis/quarantine/spam-Zli5v0qZSomA.gz: FAILED
At first I wasn't stopping services on that machine, because I thought
that taking snapshots with lvm would give me a consistent state of the
filesystem. Ok, maybe I really have a consistent state and rsync is to be
blamed. However, I also stopped amavisd-new and all other services before
I did the lvm snapshot and I still get the above failures.
Any ideas why this happens and how I get rid of the errors?
TIA and kind regards,
Timo
