Hey, I've been using amanda for years now to backup linux boxes on my home network. Data is written to vtapes on a 3ware RAID-1. I recently upgraded the OS on one of the amanda clients, which might be related to what I'm seeing here.
The problem: I just noticed that amverifyrun is not verifying the entire run -- the recently upgraded host is never verified. Not sure how long it's been doing this. I have to admit I've merely been reading the first couple lines of the amverify report email: Tapes: daily-40 No errors found! When I see "No errors found," I stop reading. :-) The full content of the report is Tapes: daily-40 No errors found! amverify daily Sat Apr 12 00:24:02 MDT 2008 Loading 40 slot... Using device file:/vtapes/daily/slots Volume daily-40, Date 20080412000002 Checked euler.dmurray.int._home.20080412000002.1 Checked euler.dmurray.int._usr_local_bin.20080412000002.1 Checked euler.dmurray.int._boot.20080412000002.1 Checked euler.dmurray.int._var.20080412000002.1 Checked euler.dmurray.int._root.20080412000002.0 Checked navier.dmurray.int._etc.20080412000002.0 Checked navier.dmurray.int._var_lib_amanda.20080412000002.2 Checked euler.dmurray.int._etc.20080412000002.0 Checked navier.dmurray.int._home_dmurray.20080412000002.1 Checked navier.dmurray.int._usr_local_bin.20080412000002.0 Checked navier.dmurray.int._var_log.20080412000002.1 Checked navier.dmurray.int._root.20080412000002.1 End-of-Information detected. That looks just fine, except there is no mention of godel.dmurray.int -- the host I recently upgraded. I know amanda is dumping godel, because it says so in the amdump email, snippet follows: godel.dmurray.int /home/dmurray 2 52 39 75.9 0:11 3803.0 0:00 166224.5 godel.dmurray.int /opt/cvs 0 295 181 61.3 0:26 7012.2 0:05 38310.4 I've also verified that there are godel dumps on the amanda server. And I just did a test amrecover of /opt/cvs. The files look okay, though tar did print a lot of acl warnings like this: tar: ./CVSROOT/Emptydir: Warning: Cannot acl_from_text: Invalid argument Tape server/Index server is running: amanda-backup_client-2.5.1p3-1.fc6 amanda-backup_server-2.5.1p3-1.fc6 The obstinate client (godel.dmurray.int) is running: amanda-2.5.2p1-8.fc8 amanda-client-2.5.2p1-8.fc8 Listing of slot 40 (from the most recent amdump run): slot40 00000.daily-40 00000-daily-40 00001.euler.dmurray.int._home.1 00001-euler.dmurray.int._home.1 00002.euler.dmurray.int._usr_local_bin.1 00002-euler.dmurray.int._usr_local_bin.1 00003.euler.dmurray.int._boot.1 00003-euler.dmurray.int._boot.1 00004.euler.dmurray.int._var.1 00004-euler.dmurray.int._var.1 00005.euler.dmurray.int._root.0 00005-euler.dmurray.int._root.0 00006.navier.dmurray.int._etc.0 00006-navier.dmurray.int._etc.0 00007.navier.dmurray.int._var_lib_amanda.2 00007-navier.dmurray.int._var_lib_amanda.2 00008.euler.dmurray.int._etc.0 00008-euler.dmurray.int._etc.0 00009.navier.dmurray.int._home_dmurray.1 00009-navier.dmurray.int._home_dmurray.1 00010.navier.dmurray.int._usr_local_bin.0 00010-navier.dmurray.int._usr_local_bin.0 00011.navier.dmurray.int._var_log.1 00011-navier.dmurray.int._var_log.1 00012.navier.dmurray.int._root.1 00012-navier.dmurray.int._root.1 00016.godel.dmurray.int._export_godel_pics_2006_12.1 00016-godel.dmurray.int._export_godel_pics_2006_12.1 00015.godel.dmurray.int._export_godel_pics_2007_03.1 00015-godel.dmurray.int._export_godel_pics_2007_03.1 00014.godel.dmurray.int._export_godel_dmurray.1 00014-godel.dmurray.int._export_godel_dmurray.1 00013.godel.dmurray.int._export_godel_pics_2004_07.0 00013-godel.dmurray.int._export_godel_pics_2004_07.0 00017.godel.dmurray.int._export_godel_pics_2007_07.1 00017-godel.dmurray.int._export_godel_pics_2007_07.1 *SNIP lots more godel.dmurray.int dumps* 00080-godel.dmurray.int._export_godel_pics_2008_07.1 00081.godel.dmurray.int._export_godel_pics_2008_06.1 00081-godel.dmurray.int._export_godel_pics_2008_06.1 00082.godel.dmurray.int._export_godel_pics_2008_05.1 00082-godel.dmurray.int._export_godel_pics_2008_05.1 00083.godel.dmurray.int._export_godel_pics_2008_04.1 00083-godel.dmurray.int._export_godel_pics_2008_04.1 00084.godel.dmurray.int._export_godel_pics_2004_06.1 00084-godel.dmurray.int._export_godel_pics_2004_06.1 00085.godel.dmurray.int._export_godel_downloads.1 00085-godel.dmurray.int._export_godel_downloads.1 00088.TAPEEND 00088-TAPEEND 00087.godel.dmurray.int._boot.2 00087-godel.dmurray.int._boot.2 00086.godel.dmurray.int._usr_local_bin.1 00086-godel.dmurray.int._usr_local_bin.1
