I am having an issue backing up our moodle server. This is with FreeNAS11. For some reason it seems like the TAR never stops despite it finishing and creating an actual file. Or, for whatever reason, the Hard Drive is continually accessed at a rate of 20 to 30 MBs until I reset the jail with:
When I look at the PIDs there are a bunch of TAR processes. Additionally, through the FreeNAS GUI I can see that the HDDs (mirror raid) are being utilized at a 20 to 30 MBs rate for hours with an initial rate of 40-60MBs. When I have attempted to do run the script outside my Crontab, but still in the jail, the whole script takes about 25 minutes and runs fine. The interesting bit is it creates the backups fine and transfers the site to the live backup but there still is continual access by TAR and HDDs usage. Here is my shell script:
My crontab is as follows:
Why does this not run properly under Crontab or just continually runs without stopping? Is there something wrong with my code? Anyone have any ideas
