diagnosing timeout failure

2005-12-06 Thread Josh Kuperman
How do I fix this? It seems to be timing out when it shouldn't. I'm guessing that have somehow screwed up the tape setup or networking. I am trying to backup my Mac OSX server to a tape on my tapehost - an old Sun SparcStation. amcheck runs without errror and everything looks like it will w

Re: selfcheck request timed out - redux

2001-06-23 Thread Josh Kuperman
But of course that's what I'd expect with the timeout message. It feel that I should have gotten the mechanics of testing down; but somehonw I haven't. I'm not sure what, if anything, I really should have asked. I suspect the answer was run top, i.e. "top -Uoperator" and watch to see that an amandad process and at least a second amcheck progress starts. Though even in this case I'm not really sure what I should see. -- Josh Kuperman [EMAIL PROTECTED]

king about what it could be and then I try something. If it fixes it I stop (and forget exactly what I did to get it working). I have seen notes about using lsof to debug, but that is tricky when the client and server are on the same machine. -- Josh Kuperman [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Where is tar 1.13.19

2001-01-29 Thread Josh Kuperman
I saw that tar (gtar?) 1.13.19 is the right version to use. I checked both the Free Software Foundations's site as well as rpmfind.net (just in case my life would be easy.) and 1.13.17 seemed to be the latest. Where should I be looking? -- Josh Kuperman [EMAIL PROTECTED]

d up. I am curious if anyone has done this. Ideally, I would like to stop and start the processes in the middle of the run and have something detect when it was OK to start them up again. Though, since we aren't anywhere near a 24/7 operation I have a lot of leeway. --
