Nobody answered my last question on reading indices, but I eventually determined that the tapelist file had become corrupt, which got me four weeks' worth of indices that I hadn't had before! Anyway, today my problem is that amflush is failing. I forgot to change a tape last

Check your system logs. If you think there's an I/O error reading the dump file, I'd suggest dd if=/your/dump/file of=/dev/null which should elicit a similar error while trying to read your whole file. I'd also suggest your favorite disk utility. On Linux that'd be badblocks which can be

I am not sure what to make of this. Do I need some form of SSL server running? ERROR: localhost: [host localhost: port 3201 not secure] No, you just need to install Amanda properly. Several of the Amanda programs are setuid-root to be able to get privileged ports. You've probably lost that.

Sorry, another question -- eject

I'm also curious if there is a way to get around a problem I seem to have every now and then. Specifically, I can issue the mtx -f /dev/sg4 eject (sg4 being the first tape drive) and I will randomly get an error like this: [operator@lycan:/usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1]# mtx

Re: Sorry, another question -- eject

2001-02-15 Thread Jason Hollinden
This is from the FAQ that comes with mtx. It looks like the eject is for ejecting magazines from certain autoloaders, not tapes from drives. May be why it's only working some of the time. Does 'mtx -f /dev/sg4 unload slotnumber drive number' work?
