My apologies if this hits the newsgroups twice The first submission late
last night ever hit the group. I have spent the past two days searching
through the archives for a similar problem that I am experiencing. Here is
the situation. When I run amrecover I get the following:
[root@schroeder root]# amrecover disklist

My index folder looks like this:

*** NOTE - I recompiled with user/group = root
You see above I have changed ownership and
all permissions to 777 to see if this helped but no luck.
So it looks to me the index has been created (by using index yes in the
config) and I am using tar ver:
[root@schroeder sda2]# tar --version

These are the only two debugs I get when running amrecover. Looking through
the other debugs the only error I have found is in the following debug
(which may or may not be related to the problem.):
cat killpgrp.20020408160607.debug
killpgrp: debug 1 pid 17591 ruid 11 euid 0 start time Mon Apr 8 16:06:07

If I run amcheck I get the following:
[root@schroeder amanda]# amcheck disklist
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /dumps/amanda: 3226260 KB disk space available, that's plenty
ERROR: cannot overwrite active tape DailySet100 <== My last backup tape is
still in.
(expecting a new tape)
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Server check took 1.940 seconds
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 3 hosts checked in 0.087 seconds, 0 problems found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.2p2)
[root@schroeder amanda]#
Any suggestions what amrecover is not seeing the index? Any help would be
appreciated.
