Okay - I'm getting an amanda server up and running for the local Boys
and Girls Club on an Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server - If I run amcheck daily, I
get
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /media/raid5/amandabackup/daily/dumps: 266228440 KB disk
space available, using 255988440 KB
slot 10: Found a non-amanda tape, will label it `daily-001'.
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Found a brand new tape, will label it daily-001.
NOTE: conf info dir /etc/amanda/daily/curinfo does not exist
NOTE: it will be created on the next run.
NOTE: index dir /etc/amanda/daily/index does not exist
NOTE: it will be created on the next run.
Server check took 0.063 seconds
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: Usage of fully qualified hostname recommended for Client
localhost.
WARNING: localhost: selfcheck request failed: timeout waiting for ACK
Client check: 1 host checked in 29.994 seconds, 1 problem found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.5.2p1)
So I run netstat -a | grep amanda to see what services I have running
and I get
tcp 0 0 *:amandaidx *:*
LISTEN
So I figure I must have something wrong with my /etc/xinetd.d/amanda
file - but I can't find the issue. I have restarted xinetd so often I
think I'm going crazy!
