Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: srv1.methanesea.com: [could not access /home/drew (/home/drew):
Permission denied]
Client check: 1 host checked in 0.018 seconds, 1 problem found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.3)
Where am I getting the permissions problem?
It's always educational to have a look in the debug
files /tmp/amanda/*.timestamp.debug and see the program
that generated this errormessage.
Is there something that needs to be suid in there?
rundump and runtar are both suid root (but I believe their effectiveness
is not tested with amcheck, I should take a look in the source code
for that.)
Seeing your dumptype "hard-disk-dump", are you using dump and not
of gnutar? And seeing the directory "/home/drew", is this a mountpoint
or is this a subdirectory of a mount point? That's because dump does
not work on subdirectories; but in that case the message would be
"disk offline?" or such.
But if it is a mount point and you are using dump, is amanda in the
group that can read the /dev/xxx file? (usually "disk" on Linux)
