Re: problems running amrecover
I figured out the problem, I was using the SCSI tapetype instead of the
IDE for the STT8000A. Thanks for the fast response Paul and redirecting
my focus on the tape drive, instead of gzip.
What it should be for IDE:
define tapetype STT8000A {
comment "STT8000A Tape Device"
length 3850 mbytes # 4/8 Gig tapes
filemark 0 kbytes # I don't know what this means
speed 505 kbytes
}
Thanks,

problems running amrecover
First, let me start by saying I don't have much Admin. experience with
Linux. I offered to help a friend get Amanda running on his Linux box
(RedHat 7.2), since I installed it on my Solaris 8 servers without any
problems.
I installed version 2.4.4 and got it configured as a server without any
problems. I'm able to do an "amdump", but I keep getting the following
errors when I try to do an "amrecover"
Continue [?/Y/n/s/t]? y
tar: ./home/cwilson/inetd.conf: Not found in archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
extract_list - child returned non-zero status: 2
Continue [?/Y/n/r]?
I've gone through my debug logs and I was able to find the following
errors in the amidxtaped debug file.
amrestore: 0: skipping start of tape: date 20030709 label VOL02
amrestore: 1: restoring plate.tech.net._.20030709.0
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
Error 32 (Broken pipe) offset 26624+26624, wrote 0
amrestore: pipe reader has quit in middle of file.
amidxtaped: time 12.741: amrestore terminated normally with status: 2
amidxtaped: time 12.741: rewinding tape ...
amidxtaped: time 24.756: done
amidxtaped: time 24.756: pid 10098 finish time Thu Jul 10 11:53:04 2003
EXTRA INFO:
Tape drive is a Seagate STT8000A
define tapetype STT8000A {
comment "STT8000A Tape Device"
length 4000 mbytes # 4/8 Gig tapes
filemark 22 kbytes # I don't know what this means
speed 551 kbytes
}
In my disklist I'm calling this dump type:
define dumptype Scomp-nohold {
comment "partitions on amanda server straight to tape"
program "GNUTAR"
index yes
compress client best
exclude list ".amanda.excludes"
holdingdisk no
priority high
}
Here's some version info:
gzip 1.3
gtar 1.13.25
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
