Indexing

[greg]

Hello list,   I am still having problems with indexing.  I have read and read thru the list but all I see are questions about this problem with no answers.  So anyways here goes:   My disklist has an entry like this:   host da7s1e comp-user-index #mountpoint comment   all my logs and conf files are under /usr/local/etc/amanda/normal   logs index and curinfo are also under there in subdirs.   Under indexdir i get :  hostname/diskname/date_dumplevel.gz   When i zcat it all the info looks fine.   Now when i cd to the directory I am trying to recover and run amrecover -C normal -s index-server -t tape-server -d tape-device   i get this:   AMRECOVER Version 2.4.2p2. Contacting server on host.domain.com ... 220 rsync AMANDA index server (2.4.2p2) ready. 200 Access OK Setting restore date to today (2002-09-03) 200 Working date set to 2002-09-03. 200 Config set to normal. 200 Dump host set to host.domain.com. $CWD '/eight3' is on disk 'da7s1e' mounted at '/eight3'. Scanning /usr/hold... 200 Disk set to da7s1e. No index records for disk for specified date If date correct, notify system administrator Invalid directory - /eight3 amrecover>   Then i go look at the /tmp/amanda/*.debug and see this   amindexd: debug 1 pid 1316 ruid 2 euid 2 start time Tue Sep  3 15:19:40 2002 amindexd: version 2.4.2p2 < 220 rsync AMANDA index server (2.4.2p2) ready. > SECURITY USER root bsd security: remote host host.domain.com user root local user operator amandahosts security check passed < 200 Access OK > DATE 2002-09-03 < 200 Working date set to 2002-09-03. > SCNF normal < 200 Config set to normal. > HOST host.domain.com < 200 Dump host set to host.domain.com. > DISK /eight3 < 501 No index records for disk: /eight3. Invalid? > DISK da7s1e < 200 Disk set to da7s1e. > DISK da7s1e < 200 Disk set to da7s1e. > OISD / < 500 No dumps available on or before date "2002-09-03" > OISD / < 500 No dumps available on or before date "2002-09-03" > OISD / < 500 No dumps available on or before date "2002-09-03"   If I am not mistaken it looks like amrecover wants a "/" directory on "da7s1e"  However da7s1e is a disk dedicated to the /eight3 mount point.  Is this right?  I know it is confusing as hell.     As I have said,  I have seen this talked about but have never seen the answer.    Can anyone help me with this?     Thanks in advance   greg
