One day last week after AMANDA had been running fine for months it just broke and I now am seeing this in my email log daily:
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: host.domain /backup/repo lev 0 FAILED [Request to host.domain.com timed out.] host.domain /home lev 0 FAILED [Request to host.domain.com timed out.] (with host.domain being a FQDN which the machine can resolve) - I am getting debug logs in /tmp/amanda - I have checked that amandaidx and amandad are both enabled in xinetd.d and have restarted xinetd.d - running "su - amanda -c "amcheck DailySet1" " reveals: Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- Client check: 3 hosts checked in 0.226 seconds, 0 problems found - The host that is having the problem is also the server, yet it is backing up 2 other hosts just fine. - I have the FQDN in .amandahosts - Running amandad as the amanda user causes ~30 of hanging before it times out like its supposed to - There is nothing about amandad or xinetd being broken in /var/log/messages I am starting to run out of hair to pull out! Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this?
