Greetings, I've successfully got Amanda 2.4.2p2 up and running backing up Linux and IRIX clients and everything seems to work fine save a few systems. I get this in my amreport output for several disks:
tintin /export/tintin/cvanderk lev 0 FAILED [/bin/gtar returned 2] /-- tintin /export/tintin/cvanderk lev 0 FAILED [/bin/gtar returned 2] sendbackup: start [tintin:/export/tintin/cvanderk level 0] sendbackup: info BACKUP=/bin/gtar sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/bin/gzip -dc |/bin/gtar -f... - sendbackup: info COMPRESS_SUFFIX=.gz sendbackup: info end ? gtar: /sb/admin/apps/Linux/var/amanda/gnutar-lists/tintin_export_tintin_cvanderk_0.new: Cannot open: Permission denied | Total bytes written: 11685662720 (11GB, 2.4MB/s) ? gtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors sendbackup: error [/bin/gtar returned 2] \-------- This is frustrating as the directory /sb/admin/apps/Linux/var/amanda is owned by user amanda and group backup and there should be no permissions issue.

It just seems to be a select few. Furthermore I don't see why an ability to write to this directory causes tar to return an error code of 2 yet it still runs through a full backup before exiting and failing to complete sendbackup. -- "Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
