I have a server that just all of the sudden stoped backing up the /home/ partition every night. The other two partitions backup just fine.
Here is all of the information that I get from the email notification. FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: webe3.inte hda6 lev 0 FAILED [dump to tape failed] It does not appear that the tape is being filled every night. It is not even coming close to being filled. I took a look arount /tmp on the server and here is what I get. amandad.debug looks like this, none of the other files seem to have anything pertinant in them: amandad: debug 1 pid 28246 ruid 501 euid 501 start time Thu Nov 1 16:01:56 2001 amandad: version 2.4.2 amandad: build: VERSION="Amanda-2.4.2" amandad: BUILT_DATE="Wed Feb 7 01:16:06 EST 2001" amandad: BUILT_MACH="Linux webm6.im1.net 2.2.12-20ensim #1 Thu Dec 14 06:22:21 EST 2000 i686 unknown" amandad: CC="gcc" amandad: paths: bindir="/usr/local/bin" sbindir="/usr/local/sbin" amandad: libexecdir="/usr/local/libexec" mandir="/usr/local/man" amandad: AMANDA_TMPDIR="/tmp/amanda" AMANDA_DBGDIR="/tmp/amanda" amandad: CONFIG_DIR="/usr/local/etc/amanda" DEV_PREFIX="/dev/" amandad: RDEV_PREFIX="/dev/" DUMP="/sbin/dump" amandad: RESTORE="/sbin/restore" GNUTAR="/usr/bin/gtar" amandad: COMPRESS_PATH="/usr/bin/gzip" amandad: UNCOMPRESS_PATH="/usr/bin/gzip" MAILER="/usr/bin/Mail" amandad: listed_incr_dir="/usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists" amandad: defs: DEFAULT_SERVER="webm6.im1.net" DEFAULT_CONFIG="DailySet1" amandad: DEFAULT_TAPE_SERVER="webm6.im1.net" amandad: DEFAULT_TAPE_DEVICE="/dev/null" HAVE_MMAP HAVE_SYSVSHM amandad: LOCKING=POSIX_FCNTL SETPGRP_VOID DEBUG_CODE BSD_SECURITY amandad: USE_AMANDAHOSTS CLIENT_LOGIN="amanda" FORCE_USERID HAVE_GZIP amandad: COMPRESS_SUFFIX=".gz" COMPRESS_FAST_OPT="--fast" amandad: COMPRESS_BEST_OPT="--best" UNCOMPRESS_OPT="-dc" got packet: -------- Amanda 2.4 REQ HANDLE 00B-00170808 SEQ 1004648411 SECURITY USER amanda SERVICE selfcheck OPTIONS ; DUMP hda6 0 OPTIONS |;bsd-auth;srvcomp-fast;index; DUMP hda1 0 OPTIONS |;bsd-auth;srvcomp-fast;index; -------- sending ack: ---- Amanda 2.4 ACK HANDLE 00B-00170808 SEQ 1004648411 ---- bsd security: remote host web21.internal user amanda local user amanda amandahosts security check passed amandad: running service "/usr/local/libexec/selfcheck" amandad: sending REP packet: ---- Amanda 2.4 REP HANDLE 00B-00170808 SEQ 1004648411 OPTIONS ; OK hda6 OK hda1 OK /sbin/dump executable OK /sbin/restore executable OK /etc/dumpdates read/writable OK /dev/null read/writable OK /tmp/amanda has more than 64 KB available.
