I've searched the archives for something related to this problem, but
haven't been successful. I also have tried upgrading amanda to a
recent version, but the configs don't seem to be compatible going from
2.4.1p1 to 2.4.2p2 (question in and of itself).
Here's the situation. Solaris 7, amanda 2.4.1p1. I have 21 assorted
partitions being backed-up on two hosts. I have a scheme going with a
6 disk DDS changer where I do a level 0 on weekends and incrementals
during the week. Everything runs fine, no error messages.. and
everything gets written to tape. Since a couple months ago, though, a
directory underneath my mail partition has not been written aside
from its name. I've checked the logs everytime and amanda thinks life
is hunky-dorie.
I've determined the problem to be somewhat related to permissions.
The /export/data/mail (linked to /var/mail) is such
drwxrwsrwt /export/data/mail
The directory "folders" (IMAP folders) underneath that *was*
drwxr-s--- /export/data/mail/folders
and wasn't getting written to tape. I changed it to
drwxrwsrwt
and only the data one level underneath was written, meaning some other
permission problem is occuring (I guess). I don't see why the sticky
bit or being setgid would affect it.
I write all that to ask: Is it indeed a permission problem? Can I
not tell amanda to just write every friggin thing on a disk whether it
likes it or not? It used to write it just fine with no worries...
what could I have changed that would cause that problem?
Forgive my newbieness... I'd be grateful for some answers.
