Hi, because the home partition for one of my machines is pushing the
capacity of my tapes, I want to break it into smaller parts using tar.
In this case, it essentially means placing a couple, large
subdirectories of a user's home directory into their own disklist
entries while excluding the same from the backup of the entire
partition. The subdirectories are "data" and "James" in the following
home directory:
drwx------ 51 akritsuk users 40960 Aug 11 18:34 /home/akritsuk
and with the following privileges:
drwxr-xr-x 4 akritsuk users 32768 Dec 18 2000 /home/akritsuk/James/
drwxr-xr-x 4 akritsuk users 12288 Jan 19 2001 /home/akritsuk/data/
My amanda user is in group 'disk' which is the group with access to the
device yet I get the following errors with an amcheck only for the two
subdirectories of /home/akritsuk:
ERROR: akpc: [could not access /home/akritsuk/data (/home/akritsuk/data): Permission
denied]
ERROR: akpc: [could not access /home/akritsuk/James (/home/akritsuk/James): Permission
denied]
Having used Amanda for quite awhile in several different circumstances,
I've never run into this problem before. Any ideas? My only guess
is that amanda is denied access because this home directory only gives
permissions to the user but I've come to believe that as long as the
amanda user is in the group with access to the device, this shouldn't
matter. Note that no such errors were given for the disklist entry
of this machine for "/home" itself.
The machine is Redhat 6.2 and amanda is version 2.4.2p2.
Thanks for any help.
