The disklist was in my first email to the group, but here it is again: builder1.mydomain.com /boot hard-disk-dump builder1.mydomain.com / hard-disk-dump
Ian asked (in another email) for a "FAILED DUMP SUMMARY" section to explained what happened, as well as my /etc/amanda/DailySet1/amdump.1 In the report, at the top, I do see: FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: builder1.mydomain.com / lev 0 FAILED [disk /, all estimate failed] My amdump.1 appears in /usr/adm/amanda/ and it's big.... so I used a pastebin site, as I don't know what parts are relevant. Please see: http://pastebin.ca/1072527 In that file I do see the same 'FAILED' message above. Searching the web for 'amanda all estimate failed' has turned up many hits, but few fixes. Is this a broad error, or could some fix for it go in the FAQ?
