Re: What does this mean: "amlabel: could not load slot "1": unexpected EOF"

[Robert Heller]

OK, I solved this: it was a broken Perl install (I think cpanel caused this), 
reinstalling/updating Perl cured the problem.

What does this mean: "amlabel: could not load slot "1": unexpected EOF"

[Robert Heller]

OS: CentOS 6
Amanda version: 2.6.1p2-9.el6_6.x86_64

I am trying to use Amazon S3 as a tape changer, but I am getting an error from 
amlabel: "amlabel: could not load slot "1": unexpected EOF"

I set things up using the documentation at 
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/How_To:Backup_to_Amazon_S3#Old_chg-multi_.28Amanda_2.6_and_later.29

amanda.conf contains:

tapedev "null:" # the no-rewind tape device to be used
device_property "S3_ACCESS_KEY" ""
device_property "S3_SECRET_KEY" "**"
device_property "S3_SSL" "YES"
changerfile "/etc/amanda/xxx/changer.conf"   
#changerdev "/dev/sg1"
tapetype S3 # what kind of tape it is (see tapetypes below)   
  
define tapetype S3 {  
comment "S3 Bucket"   
length 10 gigabytes # Bucket size 10GB
}

And in changer.conf contains:

multieject 0  
gravity 0
needeject 0
ejectdelay 0
statefile /etc/amanda/xxx/changer-status 
firstslot 1
lastslot 40

And this is what is in the amlabel debug log:

This used to work.  I made some *minor* changes to the config file,
which does check out (amcheck is successful). What is amvault doing
here?  The volumns are still in the changer (I checked!).  What am I
missing?

Ominous message from amrecover -- what does it mean?

[Robert Heller]

When recovering a single directory from a backup (as a test) I got this
message from amrecover:

All existing files in /mnt/RAID0 can be deleted
Continue [?/Y/n]? 

What's the significance of this rather ominous sounding line?

What does it mean: ERROR: hostname: [host hostname:Port XXXX not secure]

[Byarlay, Wayne A.]

I'm working on installing AMANDA on a new RH9 server. All my clients
still have an older version of the client installed; and they work fine
with the old backup server. However, with this new RH9 one, when I run
amcheck, AMANDA appears to try and contact them, but I get an error
message that says:

ERROR: hostname: [host hostname:Port  not secure]

Weird thing is, the  (Port number?) keeps incrementing by 1 every
time I run amcheck!

Do I need to install the newest (same) version of the client?

I have attempted to install the client to the actual RH9 server which is
running amanda; but this also yields the same error! So I assumed that
not having the proper client version is not the (only) problem.

Thanks very much if anybody can help,

Wayne.

Glossary: DLE, what does that mean?

that english isn't my first language.
What, please, is a DLE? May it mean:

Hi Jon and Joshua,

what immediate answers (under 1 minute :-)

my question was:

Jon LaBadie wrote:

You Enter the items you want to back up in the DiskList.
Thus they are DiskList Entries.
General usage was to describe them as you did, partitions,
or file systems.  But in fact they do not have to be either.
They can be directory trees, or multiple trees, or trees
with some branches cut off.  So the more generic term, DLE
was coined.

 Disk List Entry
And yes, it should go into the docs. Maybe not only into the FAQ, but
into all places, where partition is used now, using the usual
convention: name it fully in the first place giving the abbriavation
in parantheses, then continue to use the abbraviation, giving the full
name in parantheses on the first use, then continue to use only the
abbreviation.
Good guys, I got it finally

According to the notes in the sample disklist, its a spindle number 
placeholder, whatever that is.  Something to do with a raid array 
that allows each disk/spindle to be addressed individually.  A 
method of backup up each single disk in a raid (I think).

Possibly usefull to those with raids.  Untested here, no raid.

RE: What does -1 mean in disklist

[Bort, Paul]

Actually, it's a performance management thing. If you have several
partitions on one physical drive, you can give them all the same spindle
number, and AMANDA will only pull one backup from each spindle at a time, to
keep from thrashing your drives. I use this on my older firewalls (200MHz or
less) to keep the backups from taking over the machine.

 End of included message 

Looks like a first run, thus level zero's must be done of each file system.
Your tape is not big enough to fit level zero's of all four file systems.
The one that did not fit was flushed to the second tape.

Only thing unclear is:

 FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
   taper: FATAL error [file_reader_side cmd 0 argc 0]
   taper: FATAL syncpipe_get: w: unexpected EOF

For that check your debug files, probably in /tmp/amanda, for more info.
A guess is that it did not affect the flush but happened at the very end.

Hi Folks ..
I am getting the below error when I run amdump , amcheck has no complains. I
tried changing the permission , does not help

 These dumps were to tape Enki-03.
 The next tape Amanda expects to use is: Enki-04.

It means the Amanda server doesn't have permission to create index
files, so you won't be able to use amrecover.

Re: What does this mean

[John R. Jackson]

I tried changing the permission , does not help

What did you change the permissions on?  What did you change them to?
What is your Amanda user (the one you run amdump as)?

I'm a little surprised amcheck did not whine.  I thought I had put in
code in 2.4.2 to look for this type of problem.
