Package: backupninja
Version: 1.0.1-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Hi,
After upgrading to Stretch, backupninja's sys handler reports
warnings saying that "the partition table for /dev/mapper/vg-lv
could not be saved" (one warning per Logical Volume)
Reading in /usr/share/backupninja/sys, it appears that the
devices list is filtered from the 'sfdisk -l' output. Then
devices are processed by 'sfdisk -d'.
But the behavior of 'sfdisk -d' has changed:
- Jessie:
***@host:~# sfdisk -d /dev/mapper/vg0-lv0; echo $?
0
- Stretch:
***@host:~# sfdisk -d /dev/mapper/vg0-lv0; echo $?
sfdisk: /dev/mapper/vg0-lv0: does not contain a recognized partition table
1
It means that what was silently ignored is now clearly a case of
failure. But as 'sfdisk -d' by itsel is a purpose of the sys
plugin, and so can't be changed, the way devices are listed
should probably be changed.
Parsing 'lsblk -o kname,type' instead of 'sfdisk -l' to build
the devices list fixed the problem on our server.
Cheers,
quidame
