Hi,

I'm trying to use vzdump to back up a VM using this command:

sudo vzdump --compress --dumpdir /home/backup --stop 102

But the dump fails. I've included the last few lines of the log file below which I think contain the relevant error messages but I get loads of errors similar to the first line about failing to set times.

Can anyone help with this?

Feb 02 15:04:01 INFO: rsync: failed to set times on "/home/backup/tmp12302/102/var/spool/mail": Function not implemented (38)
Feb 02 15:04:02 INFO: rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(977) [sender=2.6.9]
Feb 02 15:04:19 ERROR: creating backup for VPS 102 failed (4.32 minutes): command 'rsync -aH --delete /var/lib/vz/private/102 /home/backup/tmp12302' failed with exit code 23 at /usr/bin/vzdump line 290.

Thanks,

Ben

The file system is Linux ext3.

seems you have a Debian or a Debian Derivate running ...

See Debian bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/455194

on Debian /var/spool/mail is a symlink to /var/mail

so change modification time cause this error on /home/backup/tmp12302/102/var/spool/mail

Bye,
Thorsten
