Restic Prune issue?

Getting Help
#1

Hi,
Currently getting an issue to prune

I ran the check to see and this is what i get ( had to cut alot of pack 35f11a2f: not referenced in any index)

1387 additional files were found in the repo, which likely contain duplicate data.
You can run `restic prune` to correct this.
check snapshots, trees and blobs
no errors were found

This is the error when prunning

Then checked it with the sha256sum

root@mail:~# sha256sum /media/backupnas/data/28/28802ae5cf4bea45a0acdda16d399eb6a429299b51835a203c151d63fb910734

So my question is how could i fix this?
Thank you

Ouch, looks like corruption on the data file.

Anyway you can check which snapshots are using this broken file by:

restic find --pack 28802ae5cf4bea45a0acdda16d399eb6a429299b51835a203c151d63fb910734

And forget all relevant snapshots (if this is acceptable), and then prune.

You might want to run a memtest or FS health check also, considering this looks very fishy.

Or someone else can recommend something better, maybe recover command somehow skips checking hashes etc…

IO error, needless to say, could you move this file out manually?

4318bdb8df4fce606d767c41f4f3e19560916e939aff19b776fc10beb1b8603f

Any just for curiosity, does the hash match for this one?

#5

The Save operation tries to delete the old file if the operation failed. As later retries complain that the file already exists, it seems like deleting the failed also failed for some reason.

#6

Thanks for the reply, it seems it might be a NAS issue as i have 2 failing disks going to swap them out to see if thats the issue thank you

#7

so i thought it might be the NAS i tried another NAS storage got this error started a new repo

Can you access the problematic file? Is it possible to delete it? The input/output error seems to indicate some problem on the target filesystem, as saving data file apparently works fine for the first few minutes.

#9

Thanks for the reply, what i did so far is create another repo and downgraded to 0.9.5 not sure if its because im running ubuntu 14 which is old (i know i need to update which has postfix but moving to zimbra next month to ubuntu 18)

Could you try to set the environment variable GODEBUG to asyncpreemptoff=1? You’re using CIFS to mount `/media/backupnas’?

#11

Thanks for the reply, correct its using CIFS as for the GODEBUG to asyncpreemptoff=1
not sure what you mean?
the GOROOT path for me

export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
     export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$GOROOT/bin:$PATH

Thank you

#12

I had setting export GODEBUG="asyncpreemptoff=1" in mind.

sorry for the late reply, seems that it was a server issue, i updated to ubuntu 18 and all seems to be working again
