Re: missing result in amanda 2.4.2
Here's what's in sendsize.debug: sendsize: debug 1 pid 3614 ruid 11 euid 11 start time Mon Nov 27 23:11:42 2000 /usr/lib/amanda/sendsize: version 2.4.1p1 amandad.debug is pretty long, but also has references to 2.4.1p1. I guess the old one isn't gone. I'll try removing it "better", and then recompiling. Thanks, Dylan - Original Message - From: "John R.

Re: missing result in amanda 2.4.2
Hi, Thanks for the help. I removed 2.4.1p1 and installed 2.4.2 again. I had to do a couple of tries on the configuring, but eventually got it to work. The last problem was finding out that I had to put in the amandates file. Once I did that, everthing worked just fine with gnu tar (dump still doesn't work with the big disk).

If you're using Linux, make sure you get the latest version of dump from SourceForge. It's maintanence was nil for a long time and it had serious problems, which have recently (months) become vastly improved. Dylan John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: missing result in amanda 2.4.2
I am running Linux. I have a dump 0.4b9-1 ... As I recall, that's **way** too old. ... Before I go to the work of installing it, are there good reasons to prefer dump to gnu-tar or vice versa? Oh, no. Here we go on this subject again :-). Yes, there are reasons. But for every one side A gives, side B has a counter, so it's mostly philosophical. Pick what you're comfortable with. I will throw in that GNU tar alters the last access time of every file backed up, and that's the main reason I don't use it. Dylan John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I typed a reply, hit a key stroke and landed back in my inbox, so if this comes across twice that's why. I made note for myself that didn't include enough data for me to be able to decipher: "Tar --atime-preserve" But I do remember this keeps tar from changing the last-access time of files as it backs them up. This doesn't look like a tar option so is it an option for the configure script of AMANDA? If so does this resolve your issue with tar? I read that the amverify is much more reliable with tar than dump. That's good enough for me. Randy Cordell Dylan John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!?

Which forces it to change the inode update time, that makes each file
seem out-of-date on the next run.

It is a GNU tar option.
so is it an option for the configure script of AMANDA?
Nope. You have to tweak some define in
client-src/send{size,backup-gnutar}.c for Amanda to use this option.
But you don't want to do that.

Yep. amverify will only check a DUMP image if it was created on a
similar system as that on which you run amverify. Even then, restore
will only check the dump header. tar, OTOH, will go over the whole
tar image.

missing result in amanda 2.4.2
Hi, We've been using Amanda (2.4.1p1) for our backups for about a year now, with great success. Last week, I replaced the user disk containing the home areas with a new 36 Gig disk. All the mount points are the same, it's just the disk that's different. On the very next backup run, the backup for for this disk failed, with amdump asking if it was "offline". After a little hunting around and investigation of the log files, it became clear that the failure was due to the size of the disk being reported as zero. A little more hunting revealed that this is a known problem that has been fixed. So, I downloaded 2.4.2, and after some stuggling with the configure command, got it setup. amcheck runs fine, but now _none_ of the disks get backed up! Here are the errors: FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: ettin /var/krb5kdc lev 0 FAILED [missing result for /var/krb5kdc in ettin response] ettin /etc lev 0 FAILED [missing result for /etc in ettin response] ettin /disk2/cluster lev 0 FAILED [missing result for /disk2/cluster in ettin response] ettin /disk2/home1 lev 0 FAILED [missing result for /disk2/home1 in ettin response] ettin /disk3/home2 lev 0 FAILED [missing result for /disk3/home2 in ettin response] Any ideas why this is happening now? Should I go back to 2.4.1p1? How do I fix the disk-size problem? Thanks, Dylan Casey - Dylan P. Casey email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Michigan State University office:517-432-0216 home:810-695-8615
