I'm running amanda server on a Red Hat 7.2 system. This system replaced a 6.2 system (replaced the hardware). Since the past two nights it's been in operation, one of it's dumper processes doesn't seem to want to die. The top command reveals: PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 29039 amanda 19 0 1240 1240 956 D 91.4 0.0 531:07 dumper
It's using up a lot of cpu and it can't be killed. The status does switch back and forth from R to D. Yesterday I rebooted to fix the problem. All of my partitions but one backed up successfully. When I do amstatus today, I see that it's the same partition, dumping, 0.00% complete. Other partitions on that host had no problem. The only difference I see on that partition from the others is that it is the largest partition. But not that much larger than the second largest. Any clues?? System info: Dual P3 1GHz 2G RAM 1 RAID 5 configuration 6 backup clients 1 Benchmark DLT drive w/ DLT 7000 tapes. dump directory is 152G Reiser filesystem. amanda-2.4.2p2-4 --
