Well, I have to confess I'm puzzled by this one.
I added a couple of partitions to the disklist on my backup server,
expecting it to be a totally routine thing. However, I got "permission
denied" from amcheck when it tried to access these partitions (on
another server). I have scads of partitions on that server already
getting backed up. What's more, amdump was perfectly successful in
backing these up. But, amcheck keeps complaining. This has been going on
for about 2 weeks.
I've checked permissions, and even umounted the partitions and checked
the underlying permissions of the mount point. I can't see that there is
anything unique about them compared to other partitions. I have
permissions all over the map, with different faculty and labs having
ownership and varying requirements for access and security. There are at
least a couple of others where root is neither owner nor a member of the
group owner and other permissions are 0. The underlying mount points are
typically root:other with 755.
So, what, exactly is it that amcheck is doing that makes it different
from amdump and might make it complain in some way?
I've put the contents of the email message from amcheck and the debug
file from the client server at the end of this message.
The only "clue" I have is probably just a red herring. My boss had been
browsing through, tightening up some security stuff and changed the root
umask to 077 a few weeks back. That may have been before he added this
drive. But, if that had changed anything, I should be able to see it in
the permissions now. I don't. And, amdump doesn't seem to either.
