Status: newassigned

Could you try to run valgrind/gdb on it in order to check where precisely the issue is (as described in http://trac.mondorescue.org/wiki/TroubleShooting#Trouble-Shootingmondo)

Maybe linked to #368 as well.

Could you also try to test the latest beta of 2.2.9.4 at ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/test/rhel/5 I make to try to improve that issue ?

comment:2 by awnugent, 15 years ago

Thanks for getting back to me Bruno. In the interest of speed, I went straight to the 2.2.9.4 (mondo-2.2.9.4-0.20100513013504.rhel5.x86_64.rpm) test and it still failed. I'm attaching the mondoarchive.log and will pursue building and running under gdb.

I saw somewhere that there was a limit of 384 characters in an exclude and suspect this is the issue, but I can't seem to find it now. Our exclude lists can get pretty long.

Here's the gdb run and I'll attach the gdb.txt.

comment:5 by awnugent, 15 years ago

--- Workaround found --- Based on some information found at "http://us.generation-nt.com/bug-328682-found-source-bug-code-help-166181561.html", we recompiled with "MAX_STR_LEN 1024" from my-stuff.h in an attempt prove/disprove that this was at least partially the issue. It appears to have worked! We'd be willing to do some additional testing if you can tell us what to test. 1024 was a guesstimate number based on being larger than 384 and still divisible by 8.

Here is the abbreviated output from the run:

./mondoarchive -OVi -N -K 2 -9 -S /mondo -T /mondo -d /mondo -I /dev/cciss/c0d0 -E "/net /mondo" -p testMSL1024 -s 4480m . . . Done. Backup and/or verify ran to completion. Everything appears to be fine. /var/cache/mindi/mondorescue.iso, a boot/utility CD, is available if you want it Data archived OK. Mondoarchive ran OK. See /var/log/mondoarchive.log for details of backup run. Execution run ended; result=0 Type 'less /var/log/mondoarchive.log' to see the output log

comment:6 by Bruno Cornec, 15 years ago

I fully agree with what is mentioned in your URL.

Now since that the code has changed, and especially the limit for exclusion path has been pushed to 4 times (Cf: http://trac.mondorescue.org/browser/branches/2.2.9/mondo/src/common/mondostructures.h)

However, it seems that there was an error introduced in the course of 2.2.9 (probably a wrong backport from 2.2.10 :-() Cf: rev [2633]

Could you try again the latest 2.2.9.4 beta please I'm rebuilding now at ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/test/rhel/5 ?

comment:7 by awnugent, 15 years ago

Installed mondo-2.2.9.4-0.20100513013504.rhel5.x86_64.rpm and ran again. Still erroring. I'll attach the log as well. The mondo package is the only one I updated.

Also, after the error, I retried using the custom compiled binary with the 2.2.9.4 package still installed and it runs clean. I'm not sure how valid that is, but thought you might like to know.

Disregard, I was working with the 2.2.9.4*0513 version. I'll repost the corrected information.

I'm unable to reproduce the issue by using an exclude length of more than 400:

[Main] libmondo-devices.c->mr_make_devlist_from_pathlist#2027: exclude_paths is now ' /users  /var/log  /usr/share/doc  /mondo  /var/cache  /usr/src  /usr/share/texmf  /usr/share/games  /usr/share/webmin  /usr/lib/jdk-1.4.2_07  /pub  /usr/share/gnome-background-properties/  /usr/share/gnome-bluetooth/  /usr/share/gnome-control-center/  /usr/share/gnome-doc-utils/  /usr/share/gnome-games-common/  /usr/share/gnome-games/  /usr/share/gnome-media/  /usr/share/gnome-mount/  /usr/share/mobile-broadband-provider-info/ '

using 2.2.9.3 official version.

So I'm really puzzled here :-( Wonder how we can make progresses.

The workaround of updating MAX_STR_LEN has been stable for us and we haven't run into this on any other systems yet. Currently this is the largest system in our environment from the number of file systems point of view, but our environment is growing. I'll monitor and update if we run into it again and as new releases come out I'll update and test. If you have any ideas on how to identify, I'd be happy to try them. Thanks for all your help!
