I am having a problem dumping from a particular host. All my other hosts
are able to complete their backups without problem, however this
particular host 'queg' seems to be restarting it's dumping process once it
gets to a particular point. I have have been using amstatus to monitor the
dump, and it seems that the dump gets to about 140%, then goes back to 0%.
I have seen this 5 times so far today. The dump has been going for 16
hours so far. Based on the behaviour I have seen, I might expect it to
last indefinately.
Some more info:
- All machines are running Redhat Linux 6.2
- This is the first time I have tried to backup this host
- The directory is over 9 GB in size
- The promary holding disk has about 6.5 GB available
- I am using amanda 2.4.1p1 on the clients, and 2.4.2 on the server
(could this be a problem?)
- I am using a DLT4000 tape drive
Is there a way to stop 'amdump' nicely, so it will stop trying to dump
from 'queg' and send me it's nice email report? I imgine I might have to
exclude some things which are backed up from that directory, or split into
multiple enteries in the disklist file.
Follows is a copy of amstatus.
thanks for any help,
matt
