I'm going to be disowning this package soon. I'm moving away from crashplan and have no interest in maintaining this package, and dealing with usage issues, when I wont be using it.

I'll keep it up to date during the coming months as needed, but if no one else shows up, I plan to disown it at the end of October.

@gadicc, I added some pacman hooks to handle setting/unsetting the immutable flag:

Sets immutable flag after install/upgrade:

[Trigger]
Operation = Upgrade
Operation = Install
Type = Package
Target = crashplan-pro

[Action]
Description = Set immutability of Crashplan Pro upgrade directory
When = PostTransaction
Exec = /usr/bin/bash -c "rm -rf /opt/crashplan/upgrade/*; chattr +i /opt/crashplan/upgrade"`

Unsets immutable flag before upgrade/remove:

[Trigger]
Operation = Upgrade
Operation = Remove
Type = Package
Target = crashplan-pro

[Action]
Description = Undo immutability of Crashplan Pro upgrade directory
When = PreTransaction
Exec = /usr/bin/bash -c "chattr -i /opt/crashplan/upgrade"```

@ZimbiX I think that's going to be a problem as long as we CrashPlan continues to take their auto-upgrade approach. I think the general approach to counteract it today is:

1. Clean out the upgrade packages and logs to get filesystem capacity back
2. Upgrade to the latest package from AUR
3. Start your backups again

#2 has been much more easy and reliable since the AUR package has been staying up-to-date since aaronm-cloudtek took over as the maintainer.

If this isn't good enough, you could always write and run a script that monitors whether it's trying to auto-apply a new upgrade and if so, stop the service before it downloads upgrade packages indefinitely until it files your filesystem. Then you could intervene with the new AUR package upgrade a little more easily.

The auto upgrade files in /opt/crashplan/upgrade filled up the disk and brought down my server again. What do you guys do to prevent this?

Thanks again for keeping this up to date!

It looks like CrashPlan released a new 6.7.2 build 5609 version.

Sweet, upgraded to the latest version now, and it's chugging away as expected. Thanks!

Could you add a .gitignore? :)

@kflak, @fryfrog, @aaronm-cloudtek: Thanks for the quick work on this. You all helped me avert the usual auto-upgrade filled filesystem disaster with this. =]

^ The link, PKGBUILD will need some adjustment.

@kflak: Just download it and show us the link.

Update: 6.7.1 is now available in my personal download area, but not in any publicly available repositories. Any pointers to a newbee on how I would go about merging this into a pacman-aware package?
