Yes I know this is a popular error message.
# amrecover -C Weekly -s clark -t clark -d /dev/nst0
AMRECOVER Version 2.4.2p1. Contacting server on clark ...
amrecover: Unexpected server end of file
In this case the command was executed on the host "clark"
clark happens to be the amanda server, tape server and index server.
clark is also a client. However I get the same error when this command
is executed from the other clients.
I have been reading hundreds of posts on this, as well as the
suspected DNS problem outlined in the FAQ.
Often the response to these posts is,
"What does your /tmp/amanda/amindexd*debug file say?"
This is my fundamental problem..... I don't have a amindexd*debug file.
I have all the other debug files:
amandad.debug amrecover.debug killpgrp.debug sendsize.debug
amcheck.debug amtrmidx.debug selfcheck.debug
amlabel.debug amtrmlog.debug sendbackup.debug
Can anyone help me to start logging to a amindexd*debug file?
Then I can start to trouble shoot the real problem
