Hi!
Anyone ever attempted to use amanda for creating backups on CD-RW disks?
We currently use amanda with DDS tapes and it works great. However, having
a way of backing up to CD-RW disks or dedicated hard disks would be very
interesting.
Thanks for any info.

I described that i have problems with the samba2-2418.diff patch. I
copied the changes with hand (means that i deleted/paste the lines
manually). Could this be the mistake. I tried to use the patch instruction
with no success. Only the following message appears:

I tried putting "amandaidx 10082/tcp" in /etc/services on the

That was the right thing to do.

Huh?

things until I actually got to an 'extract' and then amrecover

After this, the machine is fully hung, and I have to reboot it. I'm
thinking maybe gtar is hosing the stack somehow.
I'm thinking user programs cannot (in general) cause the kernel to panic,
so this isn't an Amanda or tar problem, but should be reported to the
kernel folks.

and when I run the dump i get

Didn't it say anything else? Like dumps too big for tape or words to
that effect? How big is your tape (times runtapes)? How much data are
you trying to back up?

John R. Jackson,
This is a kernel problem, *not* a gtar problem. Gtar is trying to do an
lstat() system call, and the kernel has apparently run out of resources

a block that is corrupted (and it probably contains inodes). Be

Amanda runs tar underneath a setuid-root
Extracting files using tape drive /dev/null on host admin1.corp.walid.com.
Ummm, /dev/null makes for a really bad tape drive :-).
Try the -d option on amrecover.

When you run amrecover, you'll have to specify the tape drive to be
used on the tape server.

1) I have a device /dev/md/dsk/d10 which is a disksuite disk. How do I
specify
it in the config, or do I just use "d10" instead of the c0t0d0s0
device?
I would list it by mount point rather than device name, i.e. /usr/local.
However, if you want to enter the device name, it would be:
I've built amanda so far on about 6 clients. On # 7 I'm getting this:

Make sure it is setuid-root, and that it is not mounted with nosuid.
