I have been trying to get LVM2 snapshot backups working here for a couple of days now.
I suspect my problem is more bash related than rdiff-backup related
On my target server I have the following in /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
command="/usr/local/bin/backup-zimbra-to-lnxbck01",from="05rnb-lnxbck01.test.com",no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-pty
The backup-zimbra-to-lnxbck01 script looks like this.
---------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin
# Stop Zimbra
/etc/init.d/zimbra stop
# Take LVM snapshot
lvcreate -L5000M -s -n zmb_snapshot /dev/zimbra/lvol0
mount /dev/zimbra/zmb_snapshot /mnt/zimbra-snapshot/
# Start Zimbra
/etc/init.d/zimbra start
# Rdiff-backup the Snapshot
exec /usr/local/bin/rdiff-backup --server --restrict-read-only /mnt/zimbra-snapshot/
# Stop the LVM snapshot
umount /mnt/zimbra-snapshot/
lvremove -f /dev/zimbra/zmb_snapshot
---------------------------------------
My cron job on the backup server looks like this.
< at > daily rdiff-backup 05rnb-zmb02::/mnt/zimbra-snapshot /home/backups/05rnb-zmbtest
Now when I hash out all the LVM stuff and just copy files into /mnt/zimbra-snapshot/ it works perfectly, running the script as it is shown here
I get the following errors in my /var/log/messages

What am I doing wrong?
