It is possible that the defunct amandad has open locks on files, thereby
blocking the estimate. 2 things might help, first I'd reboot the machine
the failure is on to remove them, and then I think I'd install a newer
amanda, 2.4.4 is getting a bit long in the tooth these days. I can't
recall the exact version I was running when that happened on my firewall
box, mainly because I wasn't doing virtual tapes yet and was having so
many other tape related issues back then that a stuck amandad just wasn't
an event to record at length in my wetram.
If you still jave the same scripts you used to build the 2.4.4 on each
box, then 2.4.5-20051006 should install and run exactly the same.
However, I just checked the /home/amanda directory on my single linux
client, and its equally elderly, at 2.4.4-20030529, and its working fine
other than a 10 second delay in checking clients when amcheck is run,
about 80% of the time.
But this is as good a time to bring it uptodate as any, so its building on
that box now. Using the same script I built the older version with.
Oops,
forgot to run ldconfig after the install, done now.
Humm, I note that, and this has been random in the past, true about 80%
of the time, but there is no longer a 10 second delay in checking the
clients now, more like .35 seconds. At least for the several iterations
of it I've done. Maybe thats fixed now?

I do, but it not between the client and server, its betwen client and
the rest of the planet. That box is the gateway.

Thats a good one, although I'm running 1.15-1 on the server. But the
client box is rh7.3, and the glib version won't let me build, or install
1.15.1.
