amcheck, client problem: [could not access... : Permission denied]

you could change the cron entry on the amanda server to remotely execute the mysqldumps with ssh. #!/bin/sh LIST_OF_HOSTS=foo bar baz for host in $LIST_OF_HOSTS; do ssh $host /usr/local/sbin/do-mysql-dump.sh done /usr/sbin/amdump DailySet1 -ben On Mon, 10 Jun 2002, Fabien SEISEN

I'm not sure why the travan tape is not working properly.. you may want to upgrade to Redhat 7.3 for both driver issues, and security reasons.. can I say that again.. UPGRADE :) as far as your system instability, the mdrecovery process is a program that monitors raid disks. it's only

Its nothing to worry about. It just means that file was in the process of being compressed when tar got the directory contents but was finished (and the tmp file gone) when tar actually tried to add it to the archive. You should have the uncompressed version of the file on the tape and will get
