I'm trying to run "amstatus" on existing logfiles after upgrading from
version 2.4.4p3 to 2.5.0p2. Unfortunately, the command will most of the
time fail with a message like:
amstatus ks --file /dumps/amanda/ks/log/amdump.1
Using /dumps/amanda/ks/log/amdump.1 from Thu Jun 8 17:04:30 CEST 2006
ERROR getting estimates 0 (909420) -1 (-1) -1 (-1) at
/usr/sbin/amstatus line 213, <AMDUMP> line 74.
The error seems to come from the following section of PERL code:
if(/getting estimates (-?\d) \(-2\) (-?\d) \(-2\) (-?\d) \(-2\)/) {
if($1 != -1) { $getest{$hostpart} .= ":$1:" };
if($2 != -1) { $getest{$hostpart} .= ":$2:" };
if($3 != -1) { $getest{$hostpart} .= ":$3:" };
}
else {
die("ERROR $_");
}
Which does not really make sense to me. Am I missing something, or does
the above match operator *require* a number of ocurreces of the string
"(-2)" (as opposed to "some value in brackets")?
Isn't the new amstatus expected to work with old logfiles?
