Hello!
This may be something that is fixed in most recent version (I'm
running 3.2.2), but I still decided to mention it, since initially I
was quite baffled by the error message.
I recently added a new client to my Amanda setup. I had two DLEs from
this client in disklist, and it was dumped successfully for a couple
of days. Then I decided to temporarily stop dumping this client, and
commented out these entries in disklist.
After that, Amanda sends me mail every morning about RESULTS MISSING
for *one* of these two DLEs:
FAILURE DUMP SUMMARY:
hostname.mydomain.tld /var RESULTS MISSING
I triple-checked that the DLE is indeed commented out in disklist.
Running 'amcheck -c' gave no errors.
This seems to be caused by running with 'flush-threshold-dumped'
and/or 'flush-threshold-scheduled' parameters to gather multiple days
worth of dumps to holding disk and then flush them to large tape. I
discovered that one dump for this 'MISSING' DLE is still on holding
disk, whereas there are no dumps of the other DLE on the holding disk.
The logfile in <logdir>/log.<timestamp>.0 has this line:
DISK planner hostname.mydomain.tld /var
This is pretty much all the traces of this commented-out host I could
find on the server.
Toomas,
This behaviour is not changed.
You will get this error until the DLE is flushed or removed from the
holding disk (amadmin holding delete).
I would be a bug if the DLE is not flushed the next time a tape is written.
