Description

workaround: this issue does not occur when the backup directory is created under /tmp/ When attempting to create backups using a full path to a custom destination directory like this: # katello-backup --online-backup /root/backup_directory ...pg_dump produces a different error: -bash: /root/backup_directory/katello-backup-2017-04-20T10:36:36-04:00/foreman.dump: Permission denied -bash: /root/backup_directory/katello-backup-2017-04-20T10:36:36-04:00/candlepin.dump: Permission denied This occurs with setenforce 0 as well, may be related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1432013 So there are 2 problems here: - pg_dump used in online backup requires full path to the destination dir - pg_dump doesn't get permission to write to custom destination dirs Hi Peter, Currently right now this is an issue that is fixed but will not be available until 6.1.12: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1432013 For right now in the docs we need to provide a note to run katello-backup --online-backup in the /tmp directory. Once this is fixed in 6.2.12 we can remove this note from the docs. Most customers should be using /tmp anyways and then push it to where they want to store it. Hi Christine, good to know, thanks. I filed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1452659 to let documentation know. Verified on satellite-6.3.0-17.0.beta.el7sat.noarch, when obeying the recommendation to use /tmp or /var/tmp, the dump files are created as expected ~]# ll /var/tmp/backup/katello-backup-20170905084527/ total 4980 -rw-r--r--. 1 postgres postgres 267615 Sep 5 08:46 candlepin.dump -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 674369 Sep 5 08:45 config_files.tar.gz -rw-r--r--. 1 postgres postgres 4099807 Sep 5 08:46 foreman.dump -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 48812 Sep 5 08:45 metadata.yml drwxr-xr-x. 5 root root 52 Sep 5 08:46 mongo_dump -rw-r--r--. 1 postgres postgres 650 Sep 5 08:46 pg_globals.dump Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
