Greetings; I have not restarted the nightly amanda run yet, still fine tuning this new install.
amrecover finally decided to work for about 95% of the time, but I find its an exellent hard link finder, cuz tar can't deal with those and does an error exit: ./sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/hosts tar: ./sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/hosts: Cannot hard link to `./hosts': No such file or directory ./sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth0 ./sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/network ./sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/resolv.conf tar: ./sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/resolv.conf: Cannot hard link to `./resolv.conf': No such file or directory tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors Extractor child exited with status 2 Extracting files using tape drive chg-disk on host coyote. ===== this doesn't surprise me as I was extracting to /tmp, not /etc. But this next thing bothers me. Can it not get that -o info the /$config/amanda.conf? ===== Load tape Dailys-13 now Continue [?/Y/n/s/d]? warning: restore program for APPLICATION not available. amrecover couldn't exec: No such file or directory problem executing restore Extractor child exited with status 1 Extracting files using tape drive chg-disk on host coyote.

I would assume I would set the '-o amgtar' option on the cli, in which case the first extraction above would probably have failed, while the last 2 tapes would have been read ok instead of the error. Comments Dustin? Have I uncovered a potential gotcha? These tapes straddle the time frame where I converted to using amgtar. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
