Database Problems

I posted this in the anope forums and got nothing usefull.

Every now and then, i've been loosing my database for anope.

I seem to get very odd time stamps on the backup files that get created.

I don't know if this is an issue caused by a linked server, an NTP problem on my server or something totaly unrelated.

nick.db.19011213 <-- is the name of the backup

everywhere i look, the time is fine, so i'm at a loss.

Can anyone toss out ideas here?

IIRC, Anope timestamps files <year><month><day>

You might want to check the date on the box (type 'date' at a prompt)

It's accurate, both system time and hardware time.

Code: Select all

ircd@debian:~$ date

well, i was actualy online when it happened again.

looks like it's a server side issue as the time stamp from the terminal shows the incorrect date.

It happened right on the hour 1pm, 3pm, etc. So i suspect there is some issue with the ntp update function.

Thanx for the help.
