Free Space on BackupLocation #3

Open Patrick-Berg opened 9 years ago

Patrick-Berg commented 9 years ago

I tried to run your script and it told me it can't backup my VM onto my 320 GB harddrive because I have only 8 GB free space. So I checked the code for the line where the check takes place. df BackupLocation | grep BackupLocation | awk {print $3} gave me the used space on this harddrive not the free space. I checked my harddrive and I do use only 8GB there. $4 worked.

Its kind of interesting... is that HD mounted directly on the Xen host, or through the network as explained in the guide? On 9 Sep 2015 16:38, "Patrick-Berg" notifications@github.com wrote:

I mounted it as explained in the guide. When I run df on the UUID I get the following columns in this order: FileSystem, 1K-blocks, used, available, Use%, Mounted on

What version of Xen are you using?

XenServer 6.5

The VM also did not restart. The icon was yellow. What might be a reason for that?

I guess they changed something in this major version, that broke the script... :/
