RE: disk offline - runtar as root

I guess it must be a check thats compiled in? Try recompiling, if I remember (its been a while...) its something like --with-amanda-user=amanda [or whichever user you are using] --with-amanda-group=sys [in your case] Best to check this in the docs though! -Original Message- From:

configuration problem

Hello I have installed amanda on a Linux server that has a Seagate STT8000A tape device but I could not manage to get amanda to use my tape device. Here's the output of amcheck: Amanda Tape Server Host Check - Holding disk /dumps/amanda: 20584876 KB disk space

Success!!!!

First goal has been achieved - the file system has backed up successfully when it is exclusively in the disklist. Also, many thanks for the recommendation of Mammoth Tool. I downloaded it from the Exabyte Website and it actually confirmed that the EZ17 was NOT hardware compressing (unlike the

Re: configuration problem

Have you run the program amlabel config ? It will create the amada labels at the head of the tape so that amanda will accept them. Jerry Stretch Industry Inet - Original Message - From: Dovli [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 8:10 AM Subject:

Problems with amlabel: Value too large for defined data type

Greetings, I'm running amanda on a Redhat 7.2 server using the hard disk as backup repository; Recently we bougth a Benchmark DLT1 tape unit and Linux was able to detect it with no problems (also i created a sepparate configuration for the new tape unit). I run the tapetype program and got the

Dump during estimation

Hi, Is there a way to make amanda start a backup immediately after estimating a patition? Rather than waiting until all estimations are done. My intermittent problems with backups timing out occuring only during dumps (amcheck finds nothing) is still happening. However, I

Re: Problems with amlabel: Value too large for defined data type (SOLVED)

I checked on the previous postings and looks like a Linux Kernel thing; When i installed amanda i was using 2.4.7 and then i upgraded to 2.4.18; Recompiling didn't help either so i decided to upgrade to the latest beta version (amanda-2.4.3b3) and looks like that solved the amlabel problem:

Re: amrestore problems

I guess it really was a permission problem. I added read permission to all on the tape device and I can extract files now. Anyone know why this is necessary? Permissions on the devices were: crw-rw1 root disk 9, 128 Aug 30 2001 /dev/nst0 and amanda ia member of the 'disk'

Hi, We have a Sun StorEdge L280 but attached to a x86 machine running Linux. There may be some differences in configuration for you, but we have no problem advancing round-robin through the tapes. On Fri, 2002-06-07 at 16:23, Richard Chen wrote: Hi, I am evaluating using amanda to

Amdump and Timeouts

Hello amanda-users, I have successfully backed up a large file system on a remote machine at level 0. Now when I am ready to backup again, this time at level 1, it is timing out. I suspect a possible firewall problem but not sure at this point, from my amdump log file I see the following:

tape balancing tied to incrementals enabled?

Hi, I have a number of directories which contain data files, and the sum total of them is big - several tapes worth. I have them split into a number of disks in the disklist file. When I want to back each up, I want the whole directory (disk) to be backed-up, without doing an incremental of

interesting.. i havn't tried changing the gnutar used by my amanda.. now that I think about it.. I remember having to make changes on some old amanda setups.. I am about ready to try changing my compiler config.. I work on a very odd distribution (home grown) that has a slightly whack compiler
