Admin backup error

[Djunity]

Hi all,

For a copple off days we get the following error on the nighly backups.
I have been searching the forum but unable to find an anwser.

Error Compressing the backup file user.admin.user.tar.gz :
gzip: stdout: No space left on device
/bin/tar: /home/tmp/admin/user/user.admin.user.tar.gz: Wrote only 2048 of 10240 bytes
/bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Hello,

And what is your question? Don't you know how to free some space or what?

No space left on device

Hi Alex,

Off course this is not the problem only 6% used of disk space

 

[zEitEr]

only 6% used of disk space

In what partition? What is output of

df -h

and

df -i

What is an user`s quota? How much space is used by the user?

Hi Alex,

Output is:

Set a task then to run it now, and run dataskq in debug mode

/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq d8000

and see output.

Debug mode. Level 8000

Strange is that the error only occurs when i run backup off all user accounts, when i only run it for the user that gets the error the backup will succeed.

I guess, you'd better run backup for all users and debug output again.

p.s. You'd better hide password in dataskq command output.

 

[Djunity]

is it possible that it has something to do with a large e-mail box ? we got one e-mail box that is 1100MB in size becouse the last line i get in debug mode is

InternalText::init(email)

The problem:

/bin/tar: /home/tmp/admin/user/user.admin.user.tar.gz: Wrote only 2048 of 10240 bytes

is that tar is finding not enough room on the /home/tmp/ directory. Is that a link to a smaller /tmp partition without much room?

[Djunity]

that could be an explanation /tmp is mounted as partition /home/tmp is an symlink to /tmp partition is 4GB size

last 2 days backup runs good
