Greetings. I am using amanda to back up several clients, one of which
is an SGI Origin workstation. This client was recently rebuilt from
scratch to IRIX 6.5.19m (yesterday, as a matter of fact :), and I don't
know if the following "problem" was present prior to the rebuild (it
was at 6.5.18m, after having been upgraded from 6.5.3m). I do know
that amanda was working fine.
After I rebuilt the client, it had the following:
0 crw------- 1 root sys 0,125 Mar 11 15:26 /hw/rdisk/root
As this is the device amcheck complains about when I tell it I want to
back up the root partition, I made the following changes:
0 crw-rw---- 1 amanda disk 0,125 Mar 11 15:26 /hw/rdisk/root
This is how it was configured before the rebuild, and amcheck is
perfectly happy with this.
If I reboot the machine, however, the device goes back to:
0 crw------- 1 root sys 0,125 Mar 11 15:26 /hw/rdisk/root
Is anyone familiar with this behavior in IRIX? I am seriously contemplating
a root cronjob...
Any helpful thoughts will be appreciated. Please reply to the list.
