I made a little more progress. Now I'm getting a permissions problem on
/export/home (this is all I'm trying to backup until I get it working).
{datadev:root}# su - amanda -c "amcheck Daily"
Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.8 Generic February 2000
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /backup/amanda: 11432812 KB disk space available, that's
plenty
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Tape DailySet101 label ok
NOTE: info dir /var/amanda/DailySet1/curinfo: does not exist
NOTE: it will be created on the next run
Server check took 45.687 seconds
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: datadev.jamfo.com: [could not access /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s7
(/export/home): Permission denied]
Client check: 1 host checked in 0.087 seconds, 1 problem found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.2p2)
Permissions on /export/home look ok (all it needs to do is read,
right?):
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 512 Jan 30 13:40 /export/home
I'm going to search for a solution for this problem now, but I wanted to
go ahead and post the progress so nobody wasted any time.
Thanks,
Gene
