Can someone plaes help me to understand a bit of Amanda internals tat I have never needed to understand before. but it appears that I do now.
In the amandad debug files on the clients are some references to port usage. I am thinking that these are TCP, or UDP ports. They seem to be in the range 1702 through 1712. 1712 seems to always be owned by soehting called the registrar. I am running into issues on machine that has 6 spindles. It appears that this machine is being blocked from running as many dumps in parallel asI would like because of running out of ports. Is this soemthing I can change? if so, do I need to recompile both clients, and the server. What are these ports used for? How many are needed for backing up one backup set? -- One of the main causes of the fall of the roman empire was that, lacking zero, they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs.
