Hi,
On 25-Jan-2001 you wrote:
Then it may have died. Do you have any core files in /tmp/amanda?
If
so can you get a stack traceback with a debugger?
No, there aren't any.
If not (or even if so), take a look at the matching amandad*debug
file.
You should see some lines something like this:
OPTIONS maxdumps=1;hostname=fortress.cc.purdue.edu;
DUMP /work 0 1970:1:1:0:0:0 -1
DUMP /work 1 2001:1:9:4:40:55 -1
DUMP /var 0 1970:1:1:0:0:0 -1
DUMP /var 1 2001:1:8:4:40:7 -1
Yes, I do have these, just Gnutar instead of 'dump', and the hostname
is just 'maulaf'. Could this be the problem?
(obviously your values will be different). Take those lines and put
them in a file, then run sendsize by hand **as the Amanda user** with
the file as standard input and see what happens.
Well, what actually happens is that sendsize tells me
sendsize: reading /etc/amandates: Is a directory
So this should be a file? Oh, my god, just how stupid can I be?
I somehow understood there has to be a directory /etc/amandates and a
file /etc/dumpdates.
So after I deleted /etc/amandates/ and /etc/dumpdates/ and ran sendsize
again, I got an error message:
OPTIONS maxdumps=1;
FORMAT ERROR IN REQUEST PACKET
and sendsize.debug looks like this:
sendsize: debug 1 pid 16984 ruid 26 euid 26 start time Fri Jan 26

REQ packet is bogus: no program name
sendsize: pid 16984 finish time Fri Jan 26 13:49:39 2001
Trying to run amdump again, it seems not to do anything, 'top' tells
me, it just sleeps all the time, so I killed it, just to see what it
tells me about it.
This time, there were no 'missing estimates', I got this mail from
amanda:
*** THE DUMPS DID NOT FINISH PROPERLY!
These dumps were to tape /dev/null.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.
