Hi all -
I've searched the archives and did a google search on the above error, and I found an old sourceforge archive from JJ that offered some suggestions, but I still can't get a handle on what's going on.
Here's what I have: A server running amanda-2.4.4p4 running on RHE3 intel, and has been for a couple of years. A client running amanda-2.4.4p1 on Sol9, sparc.
Here's what's happening: I've isolated the problem to this client because it's the only one where all of the results are missing, well almost all. I changed my disklist to include only this client since all others are backing up just fine. Basically the job just hangs and hangs and hangs, so I come in and manually kill dumper0-dumper5 and then the taper pid's go away, too…then I finally get the email from amanda:
*** THE DUMPS DID NOT FINISH PROPERLY!
Ignore this - I didn't have a tape in the drive at the time I was trying this test…same with taper stats below*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [rewinding tape: Input/output error]. Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk. Run amflush to flush them to tape. The next tape Amanda expects to use is: uadaily02.

According the email a couple of years ago from JJ, I tried to run the amdump on just this client, while running gdb in another window on the dumper pid. I've never used gdb before, but basically it just gave me a bunch of library connection stuff and then sat there after I typed "cont" at the <gdb> prompt.
Any suggestions?
