Hello!
The holding disk in my Amanda server suffered a hardware failure and
now temporarily Amanda has no holdingdisk. I removed the holdingdisk
definition from amanda.conf and expected that dumps go directly to
vtape. However, amdump run reports that all DLEs are failed, with
message:
mail.tarkvarastuudio.ee / lev 1 FAILED [can't dump in degraded mode]
I can't understand why Amanda goes to degraded mode. The disk
containing vtapes is definitely available. I can successfully run this
command:
su backup -c "touch /backup/slot2/testfile"
Also, amcheck shows that there are no problems.
This is the content of taper.debug file from latest amdump run:
