anyone played with amanda?
hi. i am messing around with amanda tryin to get it working. and am unsure why i recieve this error message: Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check ERROR: mail-wa2: [can not access /dev/hda7 (hda7): Permission denied] ERROR: mail-wa2: [can not access /dev/md0 (md0): Permission denied] Client check: 1 host checked in 0.092 seconds, 2 problems found. (brought to you by Amanda 2.4.1p1) my disklist shows: mail-wa2 md0 always-full mail-wa2 hda6 comp-root-tar mail-wa2 hda7 comp-user i checked the permissions, /dev/md0 and hda7 have the same permissions as hda6 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /dev/hda6 /dev/md0 /dev/hda7 brw-rw1 root disk 3, 6 Nov 30 07:22 /dev/hda6 brw-rw1 root disk 3, 7 Nov 30 07:22 /dev/hda7 brw-rw1 root disk 9, 0 Dec 11 21:03 /dev/md0 permissions seem to be ok? : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ id uid=34(backup) gid=34(backup) groups=34(backup),6(disk),26(tape) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /sbin/dump -S /dev/hda6 35379200 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /sbin/dump -S /dev/hda7 270146560 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /sbin/dump -S /dev/md0 1456024576 can't figure out why it can access /dev/hda6(mounted as /) but not able to access /dev/hda7(mounted as /usr) or /dev/md0(mounted as /var/spool) running debian 2.2r2 on both systems. apt-get'd amanda this afternoon. this is my first time playing with amanda, if you need more info lemme know. thanks nate

Make certain Amanda (the user) is in the group that owns the disk
devices.
i don't have an amanda user. i do have a 'backup' user which runs the amanda
program according to xinetd:
service amanda
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol= udp
wait= yes
user= backup
server = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad
}
and as i had in my original mail the user backup is a member of the correct
group.
also, it can't access 2 out of the 3 disks on the system, so it can access
something..just not everything. all permissions are identical
thanks

You did build --with-debuging, right? i'm using the amanda from debian..not sure how they built it. but i do have /tmp/amanda (didn't know about it before, thanks!) but it doesn't give much additional info: Amanda 2.4 REQ HANDLE 000-B02F0508 SEQ 983235854 SECURITY USER backup SERVICE selfcheck OPTIONS ; DUMP hda7 0 OPTIONS |;bsd-auth;compress-fast;index; GNUTAR hda6 0 OPTIONS |;bsd-auth;compress-fast;index;exclude-list=/etc/amanda/exclude.gtar; DUMP md0 0 OPTIONS |;bsd-auth;compress-fast;index; sending ack: Amanda 2.4 ACK HANDLE 000-B02F0508 SEQ 983235854 bsd security: remote host fury.graphon.com user backup local user backup amandahosts security check passed amandad: running service /usr/lib/amanda/selfcheck amandad: sending REP packet: Amanda 2.4 REP HANDLE 000-B02F0508 SEQ 983235854 OPTIONS ; ERROR [can not access /dev/hda7 (hda7): Permission denied] OK hda6 ERROR [can not access /dev/md0 (md0): Permission denied] OK /usr/lib/amanda/runtar executable OK /sbin/dump executable OK /sbin/restore executable OK /bin/tar executable OK /var/lib/amanda/amandates read/writable OK /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists/. read/writable OK /bin/gzip executable OK /var/lib/dumpdates read/writable OK /dev/null read/writable OK /tmp has more than 64 KB available.
