last week I (well, Debian testing) upgraded from 2.4.5p1 to 2.5.0.
And suddenly my nightly backups to vtapes started failing with:
| The next tape Amanda expects to use is: DAILY10.
|
| FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
| anakin /var lev 3 FAILED [no more holding disk
space]
...
| taper: FATAL could not write tapelist: No space left on device
| taper: FATAL syncpipe_get: r: unexpected EOF
But I don't use a holding disk, and there was plenty of free space on my
vtape partition.
Then I noticed that / was 100% full (except for the reserved blocks for root).
After making sure there was free space on / for ordinary users, Amanda
continued making backups.
So I guess 2.4.5p1 used root privileges to write to /etc, while 2.5.0
falls back to user backup.
