Ok, here are some more details regarding my planne rproblem. Im running Amanda 2.4.4p1 on both client and server. Both are Debian linux machines running the current stable version of Debian. The amcheck program returns no problems but when I run a dump, it fails because the server doesnt receive any initial estimate of the size of disks to be backed up. I see tar running on the client machine (flamingo). Ive increased etimeout in amanda.conf to a very large number. As before, other client machines work fine. Now Ill show some log excerpts. Any help is greatly appreciated. After the failed backup attempt, I see this in the /tmp/amanda logs. In /etc/inetd.conf, I have
amanda dgram udp wait backup /usr/local/amanda/libexec/amandad amandad I have kill HUPed the inetd. In the last amandad log, I see amandad: time 0.001: amandahosts security check passed amandad: time 0.001: running service "/usr/local/amanda/libexec/sendsize" amandad: time 15947.608: sending REP packet: ---- Amanda 2.4 REP HANDLE 000-B86F0608 SEQ 1061490311 OPTIONS features=fffffeff9ffe0f; /home 0 SIZE 7916190 /data1 0 SIZE 6401370 /data2 0 SIZE 6651450 /data3 0 SIZE 1289670 /usr/local 0 SIZE 5216040 ---- amandad: time 15957.605: dgram_recv: timeout after 10 seconds amandad: time 15957.605: waiting for ack: timeout, retrying amandad: time 15967.605: dgram_recv: timeout after 10 seconds amandad: time 15967.605: waiting for ack: timeout, retrying amandad: time 15977.605: dgram_recv: timeout after 10 seconds amandad: time 15977.605: waiting for ack: timeout, retrying amandad: time 15987.605: dgram_recv: timeout after 10 seconds amandad: time 15987.605: waiting for ack: timeout, retrying amandad: time 15997.605: dgram_recv: timeout after 10 seconds amandad: time 15997.605: waiting for ack: timeout, giving up!
