Again, only on one of my linux boxes, amcheck returns no erros, file
size estimation goes all well. Backup starts, then hangs (just for the
one computer). I can backup the /boot partition fine (it's only a few
megs), but not the / and /home. I get strangenesses from sendbackup:
/-- myhostname /dev/sda2 lev 0 FAILED [data timeout]
? dumper: strange [missing size line from sendbackup]
? dumper: strange [missing end line from sendbackup]
\--------
and:
/-- myhostname /home lev 0 FAILED [data timeout]
sendbackup: start [discordia:/home level 0]
sendbackup: info BACKUP=/sbin/dump
sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/usr/bin/gzip -dc |/sbin/restore -f... -
sendbackup: info COMPRESS_SUFFIX=.gz
sendbackup: info end

To me it seems like dump is doing a good job. Also this from
/tmp/amanda/amanda.debug: all seems well up until here:
amandahosts security check passed
amandad: running service "/usr/lib/amanda/sendbackup"
amandad: sending REP packet:
----

Where it had to retry to get ack. but then in sendbackup.debug:
sendbackup: started index creator: "/sbin/restore -tvf - 2>&1 | sed -e '
s/^leaf[ ]*[0-9]*[ ]*\.//

s%$%/%
t
}
d
'"
index tee cannot write [Broken pipe]
And I get [data timeout] as output of amstatus.
Ideas?
Thank you for your support. Let me know if any of these questions are
worth posting on the newsgroup. I don't post there, since I am not
sure if these are common knowledge questions or not, although I have
not found the answer anywhere.
