Re: Requested to client timed out?
Roger,
I am relatively new to Amanda, but I think I might be able to point you
in the right direction If you look in /tmp/amanda on lexus you should
find a series of debug files You will know them when you see them
These are log files that the client keeps and are really handy when
something like this pops up
When I am having trouble, I generally move (do not delete) any existing
*debug files to a temporary directory and then run an 'amcheck
config' This will generate new *debug files to read and check for
problems If there are no clues there, then I would look at the older
logs
It sounds to me, just based on the report you attached that the client
on lexus is just misconfigured In order for anyone from the list to
effectively help you, we will need some additional information The
following questions are a start:
Did you install the client software from a pre-compiled 'packaged' file
or did you compile from sources?
What is the OS of the client (and server, presumably)?
What sort of dumps are you running (tar, dump, etc)?
Please remember to attach a representative sample of the
/tmp/amanda/*debug logs as well
Best of luck!
Jeff

summary: my experience of Spectra Logic treefrog on E250 running Solaris 8
Amanda on Solaris 8 with Spectra Logic Treefrog(2000).
Hardware: Sun Enterprise 250, Spectra Logic Treefrog with AIT-1 tape(SCSI
interface).
Software: Solaris 8, amanda 2.4.3b2, tar 1.13.19, mtx 1.2.16rel
This document shows how I got Treefrog to work under solaris 8. Big thank
to Stephen Carville on Amanda-user mailing list. He wrote a terrific
changer glue script for Treefrog in perl. Without his help, it would
probably take another light year to get my own backup working.
Disclaimer: This document is solely based on my own experience. I do NOT
guarantee the methods will work in your environment.
Attachment description:
chg-spectra.pl- Stephen Carville's perl changer glue script
changer.conf-changer's configuration file for chg-2.pl
amanda.conf-sample configuration file given to me by Stephen
Carville
barlabler.pl -perl script I wrote to label tape according to its
barcode.
Here it goes:
1. Install your treefrog. Remeber to set the configuration dial in the
back of the Treefrog to 9 so it works properly under Solaris. Read your
Treefrog manual on how to change the dial. You might need to modify
/dev/kernel/sgen.conf to have changer(robotic arm) working properly. The
tape drive should work without any modification. Remeber to reboot after
sgen.conf modification. If install correctly, your changer device
descriptor file would be in /dev/scsi/changer, and device would be in
/dev/rmt (See attachment)
2. Install MTX. It's a program that controls SCSI media changer devices.
You can download it from sourceforge. Confirm that you can use 'mtx' to
control your changer and 'mt' to control your tape device. Read the man
page on how to use those two commands.
3. Configure and install amanda. Follow docs/INSTALL, and you should have
no problem setting it up. Remember to copy chg-spectra.pl to Amanda's
changer glue script directory, default is in /usr/local/libexec.
4. Set up your backup configuration files by copying the default
amanda.conf.chg-scsi file from /usr/local/etc/amanda to
/usr/local/etc/amanda/conf Name/amanda.conf. Change chg-scsi script
reference in amanda.conf to attached changer glue script(chg-spectra, see
attached sample amanda.conf) and modify tapedev and changerdev to point to
correct device files. Make sure you point the log, index, and debug
directories to appropriate place. Especially debug files, they're very
useful to debug amanda.
5. Amanda needs to label your tapes before it can write to them. If you
would like the labels to match your barcode, use the attached perl script
that I wrote(barlabeler). Make sure 'amlabel' and 'mtx' are in your path,
they're in /usr/local/sbin by default. I like to label them with barcode
because it's easier for me to locate tapes when I need them to restore. I
wont need a separate label for tapes. If you do not want to match labels
with the barcodes, you can label the tapes by manually issue amlabel command
to each tape.
6. Run 'amcheck conf name' and correct every errors it reports back.
Amanda doesn't create some directories and files by itself, so you'll have
to do it yourself. Stuff like log directory, index directory, gnu-tar
directory, or /etc/amandates file. You also need to make sure permission on
those directories and files are set correctly. Debug files are very useful
on figuring out where went wrong, so please consult them first when you run
into problem.
7. When 'amcheck' does not return any more error, you can run some test
dump. Once you make sure you can run dump and restore correctly, you can
delete log directory's content, index directory's content(if you setup
index), and the file tapelist, then amanda will run fresh from scratch
again.

Re: character translations with smbclient (was Share Access)
Thomas Robinson wrote:
$ becomes oe ('dollar sign' becomes 'oe' diphthong)
½ becomes « ('1/2' becomes '' double left chevrons)
I upgraded to samba 2.2.3a and that helped. The bad news is that it only
solved some of the problems. The file link to the floppy backs up now as
the translation of the link is consistent somehow, but the character
translation on the $ (dollar sign) and £ (pound sign) is not working
yet. Admittedly it is translated to something different than when using
samba 2.2.2, but it still can't be backed up. :(
I just noticed last week that the upgrade to 2.2.3a worked for
all my clients except the Win95 clients (only 2 left :-).
When using 2.2.2 they did not complain, and now they complain
for filenames as \télécom.doc, with errmsg:
ERRDOS - ERRbadfile opening remote file
Downgrading to 2.2.2 makes Win95 work ok, but fails on Win2K :-(
You can't win them all.
Something you may have to look at:
What codepage is the client using?
(type chcp in a dos prompt)
What characterset is de Unix server configured to?
(see the character set parameter in smb.conf)
I have mine set to codepage 850 for the clients,
and 'character set = ISO8859-1' in smb.conf.
See the explanation in man smb.conf on character sets.
It may be completely unrelated, as I don't know if smbclient
uses these settings at all.
Am I sufficiently off topic yet to be completely flamed of the amanda
list? Any one else seen this whilst using amanda?
I'm sure many Amanda users have the problem, but it surely is a
Samba problem. Just try smbclient -T... by hand on a small directory
to experiment:
Amanda uses this command:
smbclient '\\pc\share' -U username -E -W workgroup -d0 -Tqca - | ...
Depending on samba version (2.2.0 - 2.2.2 - 2.2.3a), you get
different errors on filenames with non-USascii characters.
ps. I'm not on the Samba list, please CC me too.

Problem after upgrading OS
Hello! Last week I upgraded the OS of my backup-server from FreeBSD 4.3 to 4.5. After that there has been one unpleasant change in the way that Amanda 2.4.2p1 behaves on that server. I'm using the chg-manual script with HP DDS-3 drive (HP C1537A) which the system sees as /dev/nsa0. The problem appears if I forget to change the tape before the nightly backup starts. Before the upgrade it worked the way it should: it sent me mail once in a hour to insert the correct tape, and once I got to work and inserted it, the backup proceeded automatically. Now, after the upgrade, Amanda doesn't accept the tape I insert even though it is the correct one. I have to kill all the amanda processes and run amcleanup. Then I manually start amdump and it runs fine with the same tape. If the right tape is in drive when the backup start time arrives, the backup runs without problems. This has happened twice now with two different tapes. When I watch the changer.debug I can see how the tape is rewound, the header read and then the 'mt offline' command is issued which ejects the tape... Looks like the changer just decides that this isn't the right tape... What might cause such a problem? -- Toomas Aas | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Would a fly without wings be called a walk?
