Hello all,
I inherited a debian squeeze node with a simple LAMP stack installed. The backup 'solution' they set up is a simple USB disk hooked onto the server with a LUKS+ext4 partition. Previously the files were simply tar-d together and copied to the disk, now I use rdiff-backup instead.
The problem is, that the disk randomly disconnects during backup. After the disk is gone, only a hard-reboot helps. Until that, the disk is not mountable again.
According to SMART, there are no errors, everything seems to be fine.
The node is in a remote DC, so physical inspection is not really possible.
It seems, that the tar solution worked, but rdiff-backup kills the connection.
Any ideas what causes this?
HW:
Intel Server Board S5520HC,
Xeon E5620,
6G DDR3 ECC ram,
Intel Server Chassis SC5650DP,
a handfull of SAS disks
