Problem with system backup -- Root partition not shown

[killabee]

Hi,

I am having troubles with configuring the system backup on a direct admin server. It is failing because da thinks there is to less space:

Performing sanity checks: Completed
Checking load average: Completed
Checking free disk space: Insufficient amount of free disk space, aborting...
Performing cleanup operations: Completed

I think it is because of to less space on the /var partition. But I don;t want to backup to the /var partition, but to the root (/) partition. That one isn't showd in the systembackup webpage (see attached file). It only shows /boot and /var, but not the root mount point.

I do have enough space on the root partition:

/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
71G 11G 57G 16% /
/dev/sda1 145M 19M 119M 14% /boot
none 506M 0 506M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda2 2.0G 935M 935M 51% /var

Could the problem be that the first line contains the device name and the second the mount point info ?

Thanks for your help!

What's your mount point?

I use the /var mount point in the system configuraton backup screen. But that is because I don't see the root mount point in the drop down menu.

The /var mount point doesn't have enough disk space and I don't want to backup there. So basicly my question comes to this: How can I use the root partition as my backup partition in my scenario ?

Thanks for your reply!

I received an e-mail from directadmin support:

Hello,

Try to manually edit /usr/local/sysbk/conf.sysbk

and change the 2 lines to show:

MOUNT_POINT="/"
BACKUP_PATH="/backup"

The reason it's not showing up is because the "df" command is returning the result for / on 2 lines which is confusing the parser. I'll try and fix that for the next release.

Thank you,

John
