Hi, After adding a "new" old server named fav to amanda, I keep getting the following message:
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: fav /home2 lev 0 FAILED [disk /home2 offline on fav?] It doesn't matter if the disk is specified by device file or mount directory: fav c1t4d0s6 tar-srv-low # /home2 fav /home2 tar-srv-low # /home2 backup works with all other disks: fav c1t5d0s5 tar-srv-low # /home1 fav c1t2d0s6 tar-srv-low # /mnt2 fav / tar-srv-low # / fav /usr tar-srv-low # /usr [...] mount reports: / on /dev/md/dsk/d0 read/write/setuid on Thu Dec 27 14:40:16 2001 /usr on /dev/md/dsk/d6 read/write/setuid on Thu Dec 27 14:40:16 2001 /proc on /proc read/write/setuid on Thu Dec 27 14:40:16 2001 /dev/fd on fd read/write/setuid on Thu Dec 27 14:40:16 2001 /var on /dev/md/dsk/d4 read/write/setuid on Thu Dec 27 14:40:16 2001 /tmp on swap read/write on Thu Dec 27 14:40:21 2001 /opt on /dev/md/dsk/d5 setuid/read/write on Thu Dec 27 14:40:21 2001 /usr/openwin on /dev/md/dsk/d3 setuid/read/write on Thu Dec 27 14:40:21 2001 /mnt1 on /dev/dsk/c1t5d0s6 setuid/read/write on Thu Dec 27 14:40:21 2001 /home2 on /dev/dsk/c1t4d0s6 setuid/read/write on Thu Dec 27 14:40:21 2001 /home1 on /dev/dsk/c1t5d0s5 setuid/read/write on Thu Dec 27 14:40:21 2001 /mnt2 on /dev/dsk/c1t2d0s6 setuid/read/write on Thu Dec 27 14:40:21 2001 I already had a look at the FAQ and I'm sure that: - the disk isn't to large (2 gigs total) - the file system isn't corrupted (fsck reports OK) - tar is used for backup, not dump. so there's the permission problem left, but I'm not really familiar with sun device files. after a quick look I had the impression that permissions are the same for all disk device files. tnx in advance. regards, rainer.
