I have a strange problem with amanda
my server is a Redhat linux 7.3 machine with amanda 2.4.3b3 my client is a redhat7.3 machine with a stock amanda package from redhat version 2.4.2p2 In my report for this client some backup work and some don't I got the message could not connect to molure for some of the partition. Indeed when i ran amcheck this machine coul'nt be check and i got the same message. When i log on this machine all is running except the fact than xinetd didn't spawn the amandad process. when i do a ps i found an amandad process 15933 ? Z 0:00 [amandad <defunct>] this process is a son of the xinetd process but when i look at amandad file related to this process all seems ok Here is the end of this file got packet: -------- Amanda 2.4 REQ HANDLE 000-F8B70708 SEQ 1031857221 SECURITY USER dumpy SERVICE sendbackup OPTIONS hostname=molure; GNUTAR /var/spool/imap13 0 1970:1:1:0:0:0 OPTIONS |;bsd-auth;compress-fast;index;exclude-list=/usr/local/lib/amanda/exclude.gtar; -------- sending ack: ---- Amanda 2.4 ACK HANDLE 000-F8B70708 SEQ 1031857221 ---- bsd security: remote host backup.int-evry.fr user dumpy local user amanda amandahosts security check passed amandad: running service "/usr/lib/amanda/sendbackup" amandad: sending REP packet: ---- Amanda 2.4 REP HANDLE 000-F8B70708 SEQ 1031857221 CONNECT DATA 57421 MESG 57422 INDEX 57423 OPTIONS ;compress-fast;bsd-auth;index; ---- amandad: got packet: ---- Amanda 2.4 ACK HANDLE 000-F8B70708 SEQ 1031857221 ---- amandad: pid 15933 finish time Thu Sep 12 22:17:32 2002 But the prcess stuck seems to prevent the launch of the following backup of different partition on the same machine? if i restart xinetd all run fine again but at the next backup i got again this problem. Has someone already seen that kind of problem?
