I have an amanda setup as follows: server: amanda 2.5.1p2 running FreeBSD 6.2 client: amanda 2.5.0p2 running Fedora Core 6. The vendor SRPM has been rebuilt (rpmbuild -ba) in order to support xfsdump. The relevant packages:
amanda-2.5.0p2-4 amanda-client-2.5.0p2-4 xfsdump-2.2.42-2.fc6 The client system has two disks, one is the root disk on a metadevice mirror, /dev/md0, and another is just a standalone drive, /dev/hde1. Both are formatted with XFS. If I try to back up the root partition, /dev/md0, using amanda, the client system crashes. On the rare occasion that I can actually access the client system before it locks up entirely, it seems that whatever amanda is doing causes the system to lose its root partition entirely (i.e. any "ls" command says "I/O error"). I can back up the /dev/hde1 standalone drive fine using Amanda, and I can manually "xfsdump" both drives. So something about the way Amanda is interacting with the client is causing the failure. Any ideas where I should start looking to fix this? - Julian -- [ Julian C.
