Amanda needs a place to write a list of tapes so it knows which tapes are to be used next. Probably just a permissions problem, make sure the user Amanda runs as can write here. > Holding disk /amanda: 404144 KB disk space available, that's plenty > (expecting a new tape) > NOTE: skipping tape-writable test > NOTE: info dir /usr/local/share/amanda/Daily/curinfo: does not exist > NOTE: it will be created on the next run > NOTE: index dir /usr/local/share/amanda/Daily/index: does not exist > Server check took 9.687 seconds > > Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check > -------------------------------- > ERROR: stud.hailix.com: [can not read/write > /usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists/.: No such file or directory] > Client check: 1 host checked in 0.028 seconds, 1 problem found > > What is the structure of the file that amanda is looking for in > gnutar-lists?
