Does this look familiar at all? The strace of "amflush BBPTape" at one point
just becomes an endless (literally. I think it cycles endlessly, but I can't
info the pattern, it's too large) series of these. Not only this machine, mind,
every single DLE that's configured will show up in the log like this:
stat("/amanda/holding/20130417171040/XXXX.bbp.ch._dev_mapper_igtgrp-igtlv.0.17120",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=1048576, ...}) = 0
stat("/amanda/holding/20130417171040/XXXX.bbp.ch._dev_mapper_igtgrp-igtlv.0.17120",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=1048576, ...}) = 0
open("/amanda/holding/20130417171040/XXXX.bbp.ch._dev_mapper_igtgrp-igtlv.0.17120",
O_RDONLY) = 5
fcntl(5, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
read(5, "AMANDA: CONT_FILE 20130417171040"..., 32768) = 32768
close(5^C) = 0
Thanks. This issue is driving me mad, and the point is fast approaching where
my boss just nixes amanda. (not its fault, really, I'm just bad at this)
Cheers
