We are running under RH7.1 having installed it using the RPM which I believe
is on disk 2. I know it is recommended not to use the RPM but we had no
problem with it. The only problem we had is in running amrecover, it
complains that it cannot find the mount point. It then kicks you into the
amrecover console where you signify the mount point with setdisk
/<mountpoint>. Then it works fine. Also note that when executing amrecover
it complains about resolving the host name as it tries variations of your
host until it reaches the name the server is set up with.

Subject: RedHat 7.1 & amrecover
Still having problems with amrecover on RedHat 7.1 with amanda-2.4.2p2. I
am wondering if my problem is with my configuration. I am assuming someone
has run amrecover successfully on Redhat 7.1, so if you have let me know.
Otherwise, can someone else try running amrecover on RedHat 7.1 if you have
it installed? I thought my problem was with using localhost, so I went to
using the actual hostname and amrecover does not work with it either. I
have been able to use amdump, amrestore, amcheck, amverify, amadmin
utilities successfully, just not amrecover.
Another question, besides amdump creating the index file and amrecover
using the index file, are there any other amanda utilities that use the
index file?
BTW John, the last note I sent, was sent too soon... I am reinstalling
RedHat & amanda-2.4.2p2 to see if that makes a difference. I am also going
to try SuSe with amanda-2.4.2p2 and see if that is any better.
Thanks, Dan
