/bin/tar: .: file changed as we read it

[gandyman]

I wil run it a few time's so you can see what happens.

(( site problem with this script <old vhcs2 script> is that the host need to take away the old backup files.
Becouse the backup stops wen there is a old backup with a wrong date ))

######
1e attempt: with the old -outdated- backup in place, and I know for sure nothing change on this website.

Quote:server:~# /var/www/vhcs2/engine/backup/vhcs2-backup-all yes
/bin/tar: .: file changed as we read it
ERROR: External command '/bin/tar --create --directory=/var/www/virtual/website1.nl --gzip --file=/var/www/virtual/website1.nl /website1.nl -backup-2008.01.12-113153.tar.gz --exclude=logs --exclude=backups --exclude=website1.nl -backup-2008.01.12-113153.tar.gz .' returned '1' status !

After this the new backup is in the website-folder and he dit not copy it into the -backups- folder.

Now I trow away all the backups from all the website's and let the folder -backups- excist.

2e attempt:

Note:
<<You ,must know also that there is no cms in this website, it are only passive html files with can be read.
So there is nothing what can or will write in this website folder.
Also in my first post here, he succesfully made backups from website1 and website2 and got stuck ad website3>>

3e attempt:
He runs stuck on the same website.

Now I trow away also the folders with the name -backups-
So everything is clean, no tar-files and no Folders

4e attempt:

/bin/tar: ./htdocs/modules/Postcalendar/pntemplates/cache: file changed as we read it
ERROR: External command '/bin/tar --create --directory=/var/www/virtual/www.website3.com --gzip --file=/var/www/virtual/www.website3.com/www.website3.com-backup-2008.01.12-125246.tar.gz --exclude=logs --exclude=backups --exclude=www.website3.com-backup-2008.01.12-125246.tar.gz .' returned '1' status !

Interesthing to see that he come to website3 now, he only run stuck ad that Postcalendar cache.
I am 100% sure that noboby change something in Postcalendar ad the moment I made the backup.
So why the cache file change atm Tar is making a backup riddels me.

Maybe TAR trigger something in Postcalendar ???

Never the les.
He runs stuck on several things.
*Wen there is an old outdated backup.
*Wen there are no backup's, but de folder "backups" excist.
*Wen a file change......

Altough this last one would be normal.
But change nothing on the fact that it has work well in the past ????

Hope you have something on this input.

BTW the forum is fast atm....
