Hello again,
I am adding new hosts/DLE to my amanda backup configuration. I have
been backing up some partitions for a few weeks with no problem. I have
recently added a few more hosts. My current disklist looks like:
windsor sda3 local-root # windsor root partition
gilmore sda1 remote-root # gilmore root partition
imap md1 remote-root # imap root partition
fs2 /dev/hda3 remote-root # fs2 root partition
asterisk sda2 remote-root # asterisk root partition
Windsor is the amanda server.
Gilmore, imap, fs2 and asterisk are all linux hosts.
I had 2 problems when I ran amcheck.
1) when I used just "hda3" for the parition on fs2, amcheck error says
ERROR: fs2: [could not access hda3 (hda3): No such file or directory]
But when I switch this to hda1 there is no problem. I have double
checked that hda3 does exist :) hda1 is the /boot partition, hda3 is
the / partition. When I switch the DLE to /dev/hda3 it returns no
error. I have not run this backup yet and I have a feeling its going to
just backup the directory /dev/hda3 (which will just show up as a single
node?).
2) the other problem I have is that the asterisk host has the following
error:
ERROR: asterisk: [addr 192.168.0.63: hostname lookup failed]
We are using a YP system. I can do a "ypcat hosts.byname" and I can see
the asterisk host. I can't see any reason why this host should be
considered different from the other ones that are successful, such as
fs2, imap and gilmore.
Does anyone have any experience with these kinds of errors and can give
me some advice on them?
The backup did run successfully on the other remote file systems.
Thanks,
Don Murray
