I've just put version 0.06PLUS1 on my server...
http://www.fluffy.co.uk/boxbackup/bin/boxbackup-0.06PLUS1.tgz
Changes:
* Minor bug fixes in code and config utilities
* Improvements to build process, including better detection of
environment on Linux
* Fix wrong sizes on store with non-RAID -- run fix on old stores!
* Fixed bug where bbackupquery wouldn't change directory to lost+found
dirs
* Be more paranoid about crypto startup
* Extra checking for modifications
If you run on Linux boxes, please try and see if this configures and
compiles. This version finds another batch of Linux differences and
works with them. Linux is so much fun!
The other changes are mainly extra paranoia things, to make sure it
absolutely will always work. A few very minor bugs are fixed as well.
I'd like to draw your attention to the bug with sizes on non-RAID
partitions. This causes the server to think it's using 50% more disc
space than it actually is, which could cause problems with account
limits. (this doesn't affect RAID setups at all -- I do all my testing
with the RAID stuff enabled. I did warn you about it having less
testing on my web site!)
You will need to "fix" your accounts on the server to get the accounts
having the correct usage figures, and use your disc space as you would
expect. So, upgrade the server. Make sure the bbstored daemon is
stopped, then for each account do
/usr/local/bin/bbstoreaccounts check 12345 fix
where 12345 is the account number. Then, start the server again.
RAID disc sets don't need to do this, they're completely unaffected.
I would appreciate reports of success or otherwise with this new
version. Thanks!
