The problem on the XP running cygwin and Amanda Client 2.4.4p1, lies
on the gzip command. I enabled "client fast" in the amanda.conf on
the server. If client compress is enabled then the backup fails with:
"gzip: stdin: Connection reset by peer". So i turned of client
compression. Fazit, the backup works, but the netload is enourmous.
The magic thing is, that amanda nevertheless shows the same error,
but the dump went on the holding disk. See the output at the end of
the mail. Now my question. Is gzip buggy on cygwin, or is it another
problem which let gzip fail on stdin compression ? Server Side
compression is not working, and the error is still the same. ("gzip:
stdin: Connection reset by peer"). Is there a fix or a workaround
with some gzip parameters ?
I do not use Cygwin (yet), but to me this seems like the client
not closing the network socket when finished. Be it gzip or amanda
on the other end, the error is the same, but the impact is different.
(I have no solution. Fiddling with gzip will not help, I think.)
