I have two questions which I hope some can help me with:
My AMANDA server is running on a Debian linux machine and this can
backup my Debian linux AMANDA clients fine. I have a couple of
Irix 6.5 clients. The AMANDA client compiles ok.
If I put in the disklist file the backup to use gnutar,
amcheck says it cant find the program GNUTAR despite the fact that
gnu tar is in /sbin, /bin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /usr/local/bin and so on.
If I ask it to use dump rather than tar, amcheck says things are ok
and the backup seems to work, but when i use amrecover to get a file back,
I get
EOF, check amidxtaped.<timestamp>.debug file on cepheid.
amrecover: short block 0 bytes
UNKNOWN file
amrecover: Can't read file header
extract_list - child returned non-zero status: 1
though an ls in amrecover does show the files.
The amindexd log says
amindexd: time 26.620: < 201- 2003-08-08 0 AstroTapes0 27
/shashi/typescript
amindexd: time 26.620: < 201- 2003-08-08 0 AstroTapes0 27
/shashi/webface
amindexd: time 26.620: < 200 Opaque list of /shashi
Does anyone know why it cant find the gnutar program and then why the
amrecover program doesnt work?
The second question is when I run amcheck on my linux clients, everything
seems ok. But for some machines, when the dump starts I see
planner: time 1800.869: error result for host nova disk /data: Estimate
timeout from nova
planner: time 1800.869: error result for host nova disk /home: Estimate
timeout from nova
0: nova /data
1: nova /home
planner: FAILED nova /data 20030812 0 [Estimate timeout from nova]
planner: FAILED nova /home 20030812 0 [Estimate timeout from nova]
and no backups are made of that machine.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
