Dear Amanda-Users, I have been scouring the list archives and google for an answer to this problem, but can't seem to figure it out. I have a few clients that are having a problem in the nightly backup.
Last week I started fresh and installed the client from sources, brand new, on to a workstation named 'barry'. This workstation is a Sun Sparc 5 running Solaris 2.5.1 (old, I know). The client was configured using the following command: ./configure --with-user=root --with-group=bin --without-server This ran with no problem, as did the 'make' and 'make install'. I believe the entry in the /etc/inetd.conf' file is correct: amanda dgram udp wait root /usr/local/libexec/amandad amandad Everything is reportedly looking good when I run amcheck. I tried to run a non-indexed test backup with only barry in the disklist, but it failed. Here's what the report said: FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: barry /export/home lev 0 FAILED [disk /export/home offline on barry?] The *.debug files in /tmp/amanda seem fine, except for sendsize*.debug. It has a negative number for the "Total bytes written" and then says there was no size line. In case one were to wonder, the version of barry's /usr/local/bin/gnutar is: tar (GNU tar) 1.13.19 This seems like it is a fairly simple problem, but I can't seem to find the answer. I've attached the *.debug logs below. All help is greatly appreciated!
