The first thing I'd suggest is upgrading mordor to 2.4.2p2 or later. Among other things, the logging is much better for tracking problems. Whether you do that or not, you need to catch one of the smbclient commands in action (/tmp/amanda/sendsize*debug) to see what it tried to do. Building with --with-pid-debug-files makes this much easier, although you have to clean out /tmp/amanda by hand once in a while (all of this is better in 2.4.2p2 and later). This message comes from planner when it does not get an estimate back from a client. It could just be that the client is taking a long time (that's another thing that's better with 2.4.2 -- smbclient is run with "du" instead of "dir" and is much faster), in which case cranking up etimeout in amanda.conf might help. If more than one machine has Samba installed (i.e. something other than "mordor"), you might try spreading the load by changing disklist. Note that those PC's will then look "new" to Amanda and so full dumps will be required to get started unless you mess around with the database. >Terri Eads John R.
