I'm getting errors like the following on the console during my amanda
runs:
Jan 16 12:04:20 www kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 15083
(dumper).
This is on a new system that I'm just building up that's never had
amanda running on it completely successfully.
I pasted in the complete amanda report below, but I wonder if this
error is related to this section in the report:
FAILED AND STRANGE DUMP DETAILS:
/-- www /usr/ lev 1 STRANGE
sendbackup: start [www:/usr/ level 1]

sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/usr/bin/gzip -dc |/bin/tar -f... -
sendbackup: info COMPRESS_SUFFIX=.gz
sendbackup: info end
? gtar: ./local/httpd/logs/access_log: file changed as we read it

sendbackup: size 158060
sendbackup: end
\--------
You'll also note from the report that I've run to the end of the tape.
This is the tapetype I'm using. This was generated by actually running
tapetest on this type tape.
tapetype Python-DDS3 # what kind of tape it is (see
tapetypes below)
...
define tapetype Python-DDS3 {
# Created by Kevin Zembower on 10-Dec-2001 from data from tapetest
# for built-in tape drive on Dell PowerEdge 2300 server (admin
host)
# with hardware compression turned off
comment "Dell Python with DDS-3 tapes, no h/w compression"

}
I could have sworn that I saw something about a ./configure option for
low memory compiles, but I can't find it now.
Any suggestions on what I should do to solve the Out of Memory problem?
Is it related to the out of tape problem in any way?
Thanks for your thoughts.
