Hi, so my amanda setup is coming along pretty nicely... i added two clients to my setup yesterday though, and there are some errors that came up in my email... i don't really understand them:
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: devdb.tons /dev/ida/c0d0p2 lev 0 FAILED [disk /dev/ida/c0d0p2 offline on devdb.tonservices.com?] gatorade.t /dev/sda6 lev 0 STRANGE Ok, the whole /dev/ida/c0d0p2 thing is a word device i will admit, but it's definitely not offline... not sure what's going on there... here's the STRANGE stuff: FAILED AND STRANGE DUMP DETAILS: /-- gatorade.t /dev/sda6 lev 0 STRANGE sendbackup: start [gatorade.tonservices.com:/dev/sda6 level 0] sendbackup: info BACKUP=/bin/tar sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/bin/tar -f... - sendbackup: info end ? gtar: ./ton/spool/doc_send/fax/oldstuff/064106020107: Warning: Cannot st at: No such file or directory | gtar: ./tmp/.font-unix/fs-1: socket ignored ? gtar: ./ton/spool/doc_send/fax/oldstuff/064106020107/01.tif: Warning: Ca nnot stat: No such file or directory | gtar: ./var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock: socket ignored | Total bytes written: 11511255040 (11GB, 8.7MB/s) sendbackup: size 11241460 sendbackup: end ok, so i guess tar probably has problems w/ sockets? (that isn't so big of a deal), what is a problem is that it shouldn't even be backing up anything in /tmp/ or oldstuff (here's my exclude file): ./tmp/* ./proc/* ./dev/* *oldstuff* ./mnt/* ./opt/naroot/* ./var/tmp/* ./var/www/* ./sys/* there's another thread on the whole amanda ignoring excludes going on right now, but it doesn't seem like any definite conclusion has been reached. is this a bug, or do i just have a badly formed exclude file? Thanks a lot, Cameron Matheson __________________________________ Discover Yahoo! Stay in touch with email, IM, photo sharing and more. Check it out! http://discover.yahoo.com/stayintouch.html
