Greetings. I am using amanda to back up several clients, one of which is an SGI Origin workstation. This client was recently rebuilt from scratch to IRIX 6.5.19m (yesterday, as a matter of fact :), and I don't know if the following "problem" was present prior to the rebuild (it was at 6.5.18m, after having been upgraded from 6.5.3m). I do know that amanda was working fine.
After I rebuilt the client, it had the following: 0 crw------- 1 root sys 0,125 Mar 11 15:26 /hw/rdisk/root As this is the device amcheck complains about when I tell it I want to back up the root partition, I made the following changes: 0 crw-rw---- 1 amanda disk 0,125 Mar 11 15:26 /hw/rdisk/root This is how it was configured before the rebuild, and amcheck is perfectly happy with this. If I reboot the machine, however, the device goes back to: 0 crw------- 1 root sys 0,125 Mar 11 15:26 /hw/rdisk/root Is anyone familiar with this behavior in IRIX? I am seriously contemplating a root cronjob... Any helpful thoughts will be appreciated. Please reply to the list. --drs /"\ desk: 510-643-0150 \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign fax: 510-643-0080 X Against HTML Email cell: 510-206-6084 / \
