How can i troubleshoot amflush (I run it as amanda user)
First make sure there is something to flush. Are there actually files in your holdingdisk or are you running it because of a report that says 'warning, some files may be left on holdingdisk'? The warning just means there is a possibilty of something to flush, not that there definately is. Also, make sure that whatever is in your holdingdisk belongs to the config you're trying to amflush. I would guess there's something in your debug directory as well (I think /tmp/amanda is the default), but I've never had occasion to look there after an amflush.
Related question for others on the group: why does amanda mark a tape as being used even when nothing is written to it? Shouldn't the update to the tapelist be done only after something was written?
