Backup Central

I think I had some sort of Reiserfs file system corruption
that kept trashclean from removing files for a while and my
disk filled up. I can take care of that, but I noticed something
that seems like a bug to me. In the logfile I have several
days with entries like:
2004/6/18 09:36:33 Disk too full (98%%); skipping 536 hosts
but even after several days I did not get email notification
about hosts with no recent backups (and there are actually
only 28 hosts). This is in 2.0.0beta3 - I apologize if it
is already fixed in the current version but I don't see any
mention in the Changelog.

The 536 also includes a DHCP address range ($Conf{DHCPAddressRanges}),
so maybe that is why it is much bigger than the number of hosts.

I believe the admin email notification worked correctly
in 2.0.0. It should send a nightly email if there were
backup errors, if any backups were skipped because the
disk was too full, or for several other reasons.

Perhaps you have not set $Conf{EMailAdminUserName}, the
email address of the admin user? If that is empty then
no email will be sent.

I did fix the "98%%"; it should be 98%. It must have been
a printf() that I changed to a print() without changing %%
to %.

To debug an email problem, run bin/BackupPC_sendEmail with
the -t option:

su backuppc
bin/BackupPC_sendEmail -t | more

This should print all the emails that it would send, without
actually sending them. You should see an email to the admin
user.
