Can't get good backups, where might this timeout be?
I need some hep figuring out why 2 of my machines sudenly are failing to backup. Here's the scenario. I have an existing Amanda installation that was working well. I added several disk partitons to the backup set. These partions are on the dumphost. Tey also are big enough that they have to be broken up into smaller chunks to fit on the tape. Since then, I have not gotten a good backup of thes 2 machines in question (teddy and smokey). Bith report "data timeout" See the report below: These dumps were to tape DailyDump05. The next tape Amanda expects to use is: DailyDump06.

You say this, and yet you are using device names in the disklist, so I don't get it. And amanda doesn't complain, so *are* those partitions bigger than a tape? > Since then, I have not gotten a good backup of thes 2 machines in question > (teddy and smokey).

This is a tuff one. I really can't figure out what is going on.

The other thing to check is /etc/hosts.{allow,deny}. I don't know Gentoo, but on RedHat xinetd uses them. Accepts or denies based on those files should be logged in /var/log/secure. I didn't have either a /etc/hosts.allow or /etc/hosts.deny. I created an /etc/hosts.allow with the one line: ALL: LOCAL No change in behavior. Note that I do not get any lines about removing amanda services. Yes, but... If you're not getting anything in /tmp/amanda, then amandad isn't even starting up. Is ipchains/iptables getting in the way? What's the output of 'netstat -ln | grep 10080'? netstat -ln | grep 10080 udp0 0 0.0.0.0:10080 0.0.0.0:* That means amanda is listening, so that part of xinetd is working right. As far as I know I do not have any iptables stuff turned on. I don't even have the iptables userland tools installed. I have turned it on in the kernel, though. iptables looks empty: Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination You can check what rules are set up with 'iptables -nL'. I'd say the next thing to do would be to look at the traffic. Do 'tcpdump -i lo' and then run amcheck and see what happens. tcpdump gives me this: tcpdump -vv -i lo tcpdump: listening on lo, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 68 bytes 10:08:27.706802 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], length: 145) royal.inse.lucent.com.798 > royal.inse.lucent.com.amanda: UDP, length: 117 10:08:37.704970 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], length: 145) royal.inse.lucent.com.798 > royal.inse.lucent.com.amanda: UDP, length: 117 10:08:47.706323 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], length: 145) royal.inse.lucent.com.798 > royal.inse.lucent.com.amanda: UDP, length: 117 Additionally I figured out that xinetd logs some stuff in /var/log/auth.log: Feb 26 10:08:27 royal xinetd[5766]: START: amanda pid=5941 from=152.148.113.221 Feb 26 10:08:27 royal xinetd[5941]: FAIL: amanda address from=152.148.113.221 Feb 26 10:08:37 royal xinetd[5766]: START: amanda pid=5942 from=152.148.113.221 Feb 26 10:08:37 royal xinetd[5942]: FAIL: amanda address from=152.148.113.221 Feb 26 10:08:47 royal xinetd[5766]: START: amanda pid=5943 from=152.148.113.221 Feb 26 10:08:47 royal xinetd[5943]: FAIL: amanda address from=152.148.113.221 Still not very useful though.

Re: Problem with amrecover and tapeless
Pascal, I recall a similar error when the chg-disk changer wasn't setting the "data" sym-link to the correct "tape" slot. Try using the command: settape chg-disk before doing the extract. It also worked if I manually ran the command: amtape slot in another window before doing the extract. I eventually got the config right in amanda.conf, and it works properly now. Here are my relevant amanda.conf entries: runtapes 1 tpchanger "chg-disk" tapedev "file:/d1/amanda_tapes" rawtapedev "file:/d1/amanda_tapes" changerfile "/usr/local/etc/amanda/daily/changer" changerdev "/dev/null" amrecover_changer "changer" Marc Langlois.

? holding disk contents
Hi all, I ma trying to see what holding disk contents look like. My changer script is chg-manual. The drive didn't have tape in. When I ran amdump, it asked for putting tape in. at this moment I check my holding disk directory, it has timestamp but no contents. Does it suppose to have some data in holding disk ? is this situation so-callled downgrade mode ?

Re: selfcheck request timed out error
Thanks for the help. Turns out it was xinetd. There was an only_from in both /etc/xinetd.conf and in /etc/xinetd.d/amanda. By commenting out all of those amcheck returned with no errors.

As you can see, there's no reply. amandad isn't getting started. Additionally I figured out that xinetd logs some stuff in /var/log/auth.log: Feb 26 10:08:27 royal xinetd[5766]: START: amanda pid=5941 from=152.148.113.221 Feb 26 10:08:27 royal xinetd[5941]: FAIL: amanda address from=152.148.113.221 Still not very useful though. I have changed the amandad config in xinetd: Actually, that is pretty useful. From 'man xinetd.log': A FAIL entry has the format: FAIL: service-id reason [from=%d.%d.%d.%d] Possible reasons are: . . addressthe address check failed I'd guess that reverse lookups aren't working? Are you sure you restarted xinetd after removing the 'only_from' directive? Because that address check is your problem.
