what version of gnutar are you running if it is 1.13 you need to get the 1.13.25 gnu tar sources and build that

Hello,

I have an amanda backup server running on a Sun Ultra 2 with the Gentoo Linux OS. I initially set this up to backup two Windows PCs, and it works great.

Now I need to expand it's job and backup some Solaris boxes, particularly one that is running SunOS 5.6. I believe I have configured everything correctly. amcheck returns just fine. I have compiled a version of Amanda for Solaris and placed it in an NFS exported filesystem that the client to be backed up can see.

When I do amdump cc501 on the Ultra 2 it takes about 15 minutes and then returns this:

FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
  cc501      /export/h4 lev 0 FAILED [Estimate timeout from cc501]

NOTES:
  planner: Adding new disk cc501:/export/h4.
  driver: WARNING: got empty schedule from planner

DUMP SUMMARY:
                                     DUMPER STATS            TAPER STATS

-------------------------- --------------------------------- ------------
cc501        /export/h4  0 FAILED ---------------------------------------



The log file on the server shows nothing. There is no log file on the client. I did notice this though:

>ps -ef | grep amanda
amanda 2702 149 0 15:02:27 ? 0:00 amandad
amanda 2709 2702 0 0:00 <defunct>
jlm17 2721 1615 0 15:02:41 pts/2 0:00 grep amanda
amanda 2710 2708 0 15:02:27 ? 0:00 /sontools/local/amanda/libexec/sendsize
amanda 2708 2702 0 15:02:27 ? 0:00 /sontools/local/amanda/libexec/sendsize
jlm17 2724 1615 0 15:02:42 pts/2 0:00 grep amanda



Notice that <defunct> that is started by amandad. Does anyone know what amandad starts up between the two execs of sendsize? I tried to have a some sort of script wait for amandad to start up and then truss (Solaris version of strace) its output, but it never got to the process in time and it always just returned "sleeping".


Not sure what to do to get this going since I have no output to give me an idea why it is failing. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
