Pavel,
Check your logs file and symbolic link...your symbolic link is to the
actual log file, not the log dir...this may still work, but per
instructions:
First one needs to create the directories on the non-backed up disk
partition, ie /var/data.
% mkdir /var/data/ldm
% mkdir /var/data/ldm/logs
Use a symbolic link to a non-backed up disk partition.
% cd ~ldm
% ln -s /var/data/ldm data
% ln -s /var/data/ldm/logs logs
so this is what you should see re data and logs:
/local/ldm% ls -l
