REAR - Relax-and-Recover Failing to backup
by toxine from LinuxQuestions.org on (#51R6C)
Hello
I am trying to to backup my server (SDC)to a internal hard drive (SDB1). REAR keeps failing saying
Code:mkdir: cannot create directory '/storage/virtual/FileServer/Backup/rear.MsomcWZom7RAH8B/outputfs/rear/localhost/20200405.1951': No space left on device
2020-04-05 19:53:44.638924512 ERROR: Could not create USB ReaR dir [/storage/virtual/FileServer/Backup/rear.MsomcWZom7RAH8B/outputfs/rear/localhost/20200405.1951]/storage/virtual/FileServer/Backup/ is actually pooled drive using mergerfs. Local disk space 23.78 TiB used / 12.25 TiB free / 36.03 TiB total
at first i was using the default /tmp folder but I got the same error. So I decided to move backup /tmp to storage mount point. What am i doing wrong here?
I also changed the permission to 777 for backup folder.
I created a new backup folder directly from 10 TB drive mount point instead of mergerfs. export TMPDIR="/storage/disk8/FileServer/Backup/" i got the same error
