Every day for the last few weeks (since May 30) one partition of a remote machine fails with an "all estimate failed" error.
The exact error is: FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: luna.elaw.org /zope lev 0 FAILED [disk /zope, all estimate failed] If I run "amcheck daily" as the "operator" user before the job runs, I receive this message during the "Backup Client Hosts Check" portion: "ERROR: luna.elaw.org: [could not access /dev/ad0s1e (/zope): Permission denied]" Despite that error, I cannot find a permissions problem; the permissions on the root directory are "drwxr-xr-x root:wheel" and on the /zope directory "drwxr-xr-x root:wheel". Inside the /zope directory, everything (at least at the top level) is drwxr-xr-x zope:zope. I've been backing up both of these systems with Amanda for several years and haven't ever had estimates for a partition just stop working. I'm running Amanda version 2.4.5p1, gtar-1.13.25 on the Amanda host; and gtar-1.16_2 on the remote host. Both hosts are running FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE-p26. I've looked in the /tmp/amanda/*.debug files, as suggested in this thread: <http://forums.zmanda.com/archive/index.php/t-299.html>, but haven't found anything that looks troublesome. Anyone have any thoughts about where to look from here? -- Thanks, Glenn Gillis glenn at elaw dot org ELAW U.S. Information Technology Manager http://www.elaw.org
