(1) Initialization Script error
On page 39 of the February Sys Admin article, there is an error in the initialization script. A few lines up from the bottom of the second column (above the Elarasys ad), the erroneous line reads:
DIRV="/usr/local/sbin/dirvish --vault" #wrong
it should read:
DIRV="/usr/local/sbin/dirvish --init --vault" #correct
The correct listing is here. Sorry for any grief. Thanks to Tony M. for discovering the problem!
(2) core exclude error
On page 38 of the February Sys Admin article, there is an error in the master configuration file in the second column. The "core" line in the excludes will match too many things - in particular, it will match all directories named core, and this causes some libraries and sources to not get backed up. Change the code from:
...
exclude:
lost+found/
core #wrong
Runall:
...
it should read:
...
exclude:
lost+found/
Runall:
...
Thanks to Jason B. for discovering the problem!
