#1148 PR merged: Bareos support: add missing directory /var/run/bareos in recovery system¶
Labels: bug, fixed / solved / done, external tool
dl5rcw opened issue at 2017-01-03 14:11:¶
we are using rear + bareos in our data center.
executing a test recovery revealed that bareos was requesting
/var/run/bareos as a system's directory to exist. We've added it to the
skel and it works now. We like to share this improvement.

@dl5rcw
what Bareos version do you use?
I am not a Bareos user but I think ReaR has worked with
some older Bareos versions without the /var/run/bareos
directory in the ReaR recovery system.
According to
https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1148/files
you added not only a
usr/share/rear/skel/BAREOS/var/run/bareos
directory but a
usr/share/rear/skel/BAREOS/var/run/bareos/.gitignore
file.
I assume it also works this way but I think
this is not exactly what you intended.

I am using Bareos obelix-dir 16.2.2 (01May16) compiled from source on
all machines.
Adding an empty directory to git repo failed. I inserted the .gitignore
file alike the empty directory

@dl5rcw Indeed empty directories do require a .gitignore file to be
accepted by git. OK for me to accept.

I even found the explanation about empty directories and git at

@gdha
I see ReaR mostly has empty directories
with a .gitignore file that contains
* !.gitignore
which guarantees that the directory remains empty because
this way git ignores all files except the .gitignore file
but
those .gitignore files are empty
usr/share/rear/skel/NBU/usr/openv/var/vnetd/.gitignore
usr/share/rear/skel/NSR/usr/lib/nsr/.gitignore
usr/share/rear/skel/default/run/lvm/.gitignore
usr/share/rear/skel/default/run/resolvconf/.gitignore
usr/share/rear/skel/default/run/systemd/journal/syslog/.gitignore
usr/share/rear/skel/default/run/udev/.gitignore
usr/share/rear/skel/default/usr/include/.gitignore
usr/share/rear/skel/default/usr/lib/udev/.gitignore
usr/share/rear/skel/default/var/lib/nfs/statd/.gitignore
usr/share/rear/skel/default/var/lock/lockdev/.gitignore
usr/share/rear/skel/default/var/lock/lvm/.gitignore
usr/share/rear/skel/default/var/run/systemd/generator/.gitignore
usr/share/rear/skel/default/var/run/systemd/journal/.gitignore
Should I fix the empty .gitignore files?
(The directories where they are are empty.)

OK - it won't hurt ReaR ;-)
