Paul,
Josh,
I'll check on the timeout issue.
Restarting xinetd - yes, I guess services would have provided
a clean restart but I wasn't really looking to shutdown xinetd,
just to change one of the socket behaviours. Its not unusual for
us (my site) to HUP inetd on Solaris and Irix so I didn't think
in terms of restarting the server itself. Different OS, different
rules.
My co-worker Chris Knight
"The U in Unix has little to do with 'uniformity'".
I was unaware of the dump bug, this is a likely cause for the local
tape (non-amanda) dumps to have been failing.
We will look into the patch/new dump version.
We are also looking into those scsi errors I'd reported and had already
resolved to perform a dump to /dev/null to check a tape vs disk issue.
That and schedule a service interupt to fsck the partition.
Will let you know what the next round of testing reveals.
thank you,
Brian
