changer problems when running from cron
2003-02-07 06:03:40
Hi,
we have problems with amanda when running from cron, amanda always means
that the right tape is not or no tape is inserted but it is.
I tried to track down the problem and I can reproduce this problem with
amcheck, when running amcheck from cron:
amcheck-server: could not get changer info: wait for
"/usr/local/libexec/chg-manual" failed: No child processes
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.3)
It seems that the chg-manual script ends to quick, when adding a "sleep
1" into the info() function of the chg-manual script then the error
above doesen't occur but this error occurs.
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
amcheck-server: fatal slot <error>: wait for
"/usr/local/libexec/chg-manual" failed: No child processes
ERROR: label gamed02003 or new tape not found in rack
(expecting tape gamed02003 or a new tape)
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Server check took 2.659 seconds
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.3)
Doing the same sleep in loadslot() has no effect.
NOTE: everything works OK when invoking from the shell.
We are running Caldera Openlinux, Kernel 2.4.13, with amanda 2.4.3.
It is a real problem for us, because we must invoke amflush every day by
hand.
bye,
