Hello!
I upgraded Amanda from 2.5.1p3 to 2.6.1p2 on my FreeBSD 7.2 box (which is
Amanda server for my network). There have been two scheduled amdump runs
after the upgrade, and I seem to have problem backing up one particular DLE
on the server itself. Other DLEs on the server as well as other clients
(2.5.1 and even 2.4.5) seem fine. Error message in Amanda report regarding
this DLE is:
FAILURE DUMP SUMMARY:
kuller.raad.tartu.ee /var lev 0 FAILED
"/usr/local/libexec/amanda/runtar exited with status 1: see
/tmp/amanda/client/TLV/sendsize.20100322221502.debug"
The excrept from sendsize.20100322221502.debug is at the end of the
message. The only error I can see there is "file changed as we read it",
regarding one file. In my earlier experience with Amanda 2.5.1p3 this kind
of errors didn't cause the dump to be FAILED, just STRANGE. Is it possible
that new runtar treats errors returned from gtar somehow differently? Maybe
I should upgrade gtar on this machine from 1.19 to something newer?
BTW, after failing level 0 of this DLE, Amanda seems to successfully take a
level 1 of it.
