I have two questions which I hope some can help me with: My AMANDA server is running on a Debian linux machine and this can backup my Debian linux AMANDA clients fine. I have a couple of Irix 6.5 clients. The AMANDA client compiles ok. If I put in the disklist file the backup to use gnutar, amcheck says it cant find the program GNUTAR despite the fact that gnu tar is in /sbin, /bin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /usr/local/bin and so on. If I ask it to use dump rather than tar, amcheck says things are ok and the backup seems to work, but when i use amrecover to get a file back, I get
EOF, check amidxtaped.<timestamp>.debug file on cepheid. amrecover: short block 0 bytes UNKNOWN file amrecover: Can't read file header extract_list - child returned non-zero status: 1 though an ls in amrecover does show the files. The amindexd log says amindexd: time 26.620: < 201- 2003-08-08 0 AstroTapes0 27 /shashi/typescript amindexd: time 26.620: < 201- 2003-08-08 0 AstroTapes0 27 /shashi/webface amindexd: time 26.620: < 200 Opaque list of /shashi Does anyone know why it cant find the gnutar program and then why the amrecover program doesnt work? The second question is when I run amcheck on my linux clients, everything seems ok. But for some machines, when the dump starts I see planner: time 1800.869: error result for host nova disk /data: Estimate timeout from nova planner: time 1800.869: error result for host nova disk /home: Estimate timeout from nova 0: nova /data 1: nova /home planner: FAILED nova /data 20030812 0 [Estimate timeout from nova] planner: FAILED nova /home 20030812 0 [Estimate timeout from nova] and no backups are made of that machine. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shashi Kanbur [EMAIL PROTECTED] Five College Astronomy Department, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA 01003 USA (413) 577 0470 (413) 545 4223 (Fax)
