[Box Backup] RaidFileDoesntExist (2/11)

[dave bamford]

Hi

I get the same error but for a different reason. I just moved the server 
from a machine
running FC5 to Debian and copied the accounts. I noticed I was getting 
the RaidFileDoesntExist (2/11)
in the logs so I looked on the list and found this email.
When I run bbstoreaccounts check xx fix it throws the same exception 
when it finds an error
to fix.

I tracked the code down to RaidFileUtil::RaidFileExists which most of 
the time returns
NonRaid, but returns NoFile when a write is required.

I am running SW RAID 1 in the OS so I have told the server that there is 
no RAID
I hope this is right as it was how the old server worked. The store is 
mounted
on /dev/md0 as /boxbackup.

If I hack the code so that NoFile is replaced by NonRaid the check fix 
continues
but eventually throws and exception CannotOverwriteExistingFile (2/4)

Now I am stuck as I am not a programmer.

Thanks

Dave Bamford.
