The problem I encountered yesterday with one of the clients continues: amanda cannot get the estimates (and the backups) from a particular client. There seems to be some sort of networking problem.
The client is in the DMZ, protected by the firewall. I even recompiled amanda to make sure it is using a predefined set of UDP ports (850-859) and I looked at the firewall logs, no errors. I have checked the dumper.1 log and the dumpers are using the UDP port in the range specified. Here is what I have at the end of the amandad debug files amandad: time 74.672: dgram_recv: timeout after 10 seconds amandad: time 74.672: waiting for ack: timeout, retrying amandad: time 84.682: dgram_recv: timeout after 10 seconds amandad: time 84.682: waiting for ack: timeout, retrying amandad: time 94.692: dgram_recv: timeout after 10 seconds amandad: time 94.692: waiting for ack: timeout, retrying amandad: time 104.702: dgram_recv: timeout after 10 seconds amandad: time 104.702: waiting for ack: timeout, retrying amandad: time 114.712: dgram_recv: timeout after 10 seconds amandad: time 114.712: waiting for ack: timeout, giving up! amandad: time 114.712: pid 3499 finish time Fri May 20 09:34:48 2005 It looks like it cannot send estimates. It used to work a couple of days ago. To my knowledge, nothing changed in the network. The strangest thing is that a similar client (same OS) in the DMZ is doing just fine. It can communicate with the tape server. I don't know where to look at. I'll dump the packets with ethereal and see with my network admin if we can do something. Thanks
