I'm having trouble with amanda 2.4.1-p1 running on a RedHat-Linux-Server.
Everything is working fine.. except the problem, that sonetimes the amandad
is stopped. Can anyone tell me why?
This is the message in /var/log/messages:

hello, and thanks for your answers.
If my tar is broken or my amanda version is wrong, why it is the first time
it happens since i started using amanda 4 months ago???
I will follow your advices.
I recieved this mail, what is the meaning of no backup size line?
Why the dump failded???
Hi people,
I have a problem. When amdump send the message of backup,
there is the message:
canopusc0t6d0s0 lev 0 FAILED [/usr/sbin/ufsdump returned 3]
FAILED AND STRANGE DUMP DETAILS:
/-- canopusc0t6d0s0 lev 0 FAILED [/usr/sbin/ufsdump returned 3]

It looks to me like you have some bad sectors on your disk, or possibly
a disk drive that is on its way to failing, like the
Hi,
did anybody compile a list for compatible changers fro Solaris2.0? :-)
e.g. does the HP-Dat4 Six-Slot work ( probably yes) or
even the new HP LTO Ultrium 1/9 ?

Some times I would like to just use GNU tar at

My Amanda system seems to do this very well.
Amanda some how uses GNU tar to archive

Welcome!
First, when Amanda runs, it reports itself as 2.4.2p1 and not p2. Is the
tapeio branch not in sync with the latest release?
It is in sync, I just forgot to update the p1 to p2. It's fixed in the
sources so if you do a cvs update and then start

After amdump, the file system /dev/rdsk/c0t6d0s0 is unmounted. Why it
happens?
There isn't enough information here to know how to answer.

Don't have any from a failed run. Below is my only sendbackup*debug

By error I meant you didn't see all the entries in amrecover that you

Hello
I have a little problem, I am running my AMANDA backup server on my private
network to backup some clients on my internet network. The problem is that
between these two network I use NAT and NAT does some port mapping so it
translates for example port 858 to 40001. And it looks like to

Sure. Look for not secure in common-src/security.c and comment out

This sounds like a classic case of running out of file descriptors --

per-process, as you seem to be able to reproduce it at will with the

It would seem that one can no longer use dump (assuming one is using
Linux 2.4) to backup live filesystems. So is everybody here now using
gnutar to backup filesystems on Linux 2.4?
Is there any loss of functionality

Doesn't just setting program to DUMP in the dumptype do this?
Amanda should auto-detect the file system type and run the correct dump
program (assuming it found it when you ran ./configure). For instance,

I think you would have to recompile amanda. I would install
xfsdump/xfsrestore and rpm -e dump
Hi folks,
If you are concerned about dumping live filesystem with Linux kernel
2.4, you might be interested in this: SGI has released an updated
anaconda installer CD for Red Hat 7.1 with XFS journaled filesystem
support. You load the installer CD first, which includes only the RPMs
necessary
