Relax-and-Recover (rear) Issue Template

Please fill in the following items before submitting a new issue:

  • rear version (/usr/sbin/rear -V): Relax-and-Recover 1.17.2 / Git
  • OS version (cat /etc/rear/os.conf or lsb_release -a):
    LSB Version: :core-4.1-amd64:core-4.1-noarch
    Distributor ID: CentOS
    Description: CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core)
    Release: 7.2.1511
    Codename: Core
  • rear configuration files (cat /etc/rear/site.conf or cat /etc/rear/local.conf):
    OUTPUT=ISO
    BACKUP=NETFS
    BACKUP_URL="nfs://10.2.209.220/HOU_Linuxbackups/linuxbackups"
    BACKUP_PROG_EXCLUDE=( ${BACKUP_PROG_EXCLUDE[@]} '.trc' '.trm' '/var/lib/libvirt/images/' )
    COPY_AS_IS_EXCLUDE=( ${COPY_AS_IS_EXCLUDE[@]} '    .trc' '.trm' '/var/lib/libvirt/images/' )
    EXCLUDE_MOUNTPOINTS=( ${EXCLUDE_MOUNTPOINTS[@]} /exports )
    AUTOEXCLUDE_PATH=( ${AUTOEXCLUDE_PATH[@]} /mnt* /var/lib/kvm/images )
    BACKUP_PROG=tar
    BACKUP_OPTIONS="nfsvers=3,nolock"
  • Brief description of the issue:
    rear -v mkbackup went successfully but nothing is copied to NFS share.

rear-houdocker01.zip

  • Work-around, if any:
    When trying to use -S option with rear, I could see the size of the archive getting bigger and bigger, but in the end nothing remained!
    Note that I tried with and without BACKUP_OPTIONS="nfsvers=3,nolock", same result.
