amanda-2.4.4 compiled from scratch!
linuxDistrib:mandrake9.2
hello,
I used to work for 2 years with amanda on solaris systems. But now we
are integrating a few linux boxes, and also getting into some issues!
The problem has I saw it now, is that the user/groups defined in the
amanda's xinet file cannot run the dump program correctly under the
backuped host (that what i've seen in the /tmp/amanda/sendsize.xx file):
cat /tmp/amanda/sendsize.xx
....
sendsize[30425]: time 2.180: running "/sbin/dump 0Ssf 1048576 -
/export/diskA1/pittelou"
sendsize[30425]: time 2.180: running /unige/amanda/libexec/killpgrp
sendsize[30425]: time 2.228: DUMP: Cannot open /dev/hda6
...
I've tried:
# /sbin/dump 0Ssf 1048576 - /export/diskA1/pittelou
DUMP: Excluding inode 8 (journal inode) from dump
DUMP: Excluding inode 7 (resize inode) from dump
61649920
$ /sbin/dump 0Ssf 1048576 - /export/diskA1/pittelou
DUMP: Cannot open /dev/hda6
DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.
(you see!! it's not working! )
#cat /etc/xinetd.d/amanda
service amanda
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = obs_bkp
group = sys
server = /unige/amanda/libexec/amandad
disable = no
}
So now to resolve this, the ways are mutltiple!
-I try to make work the amanda client with a user with whom the dump works
-I maintain the same user and I find out why the amanda's user can't use
dump!
And what I don't really understand.. does any user can dump whatever.. I
mean the amanda user doesn't have any special privilege! and the file
/etc/dumpdate has to be written by root/sys..(don't really understand)
