Hi, I am trying to get Amanda going on a RedHat ES 3 box, but I am having this same issue addressed on a message board when trying to back up a directory that is remote via NFS: "...I was then able to do an amcheck, and it succeeded. Doing an amdump still fails however. Looking into the log file (sendsize.-----.debug) it indicated that amdump is not receiving the size information (presumably from sendsize module) that it needs to complete the tar...."
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg23489.html The responses say it's a problem with GNU tar 1.13, and to use 1.13-25, however that is the version that the redhat box is running. What am I missing?
