All,

I am having a problem getting a dump from one file system on a remote machine. It seems to intermittently (60% of the time) fail to dump correctly. It is one of my larger file systems 20Gig (with 10gig of data). The second file system on the box does not give me any issue.

<report>
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
  logfly02   /conversion lev 2 FAILED [data timeout]

<snip>

FAILED AND STRANGE DUMP DETAILS:

/-- logfly02   /conversion lev 2 FAILED [data timeout]
sendbackup: start [logfly02:/conversion level 2]
sendbackup: info BACKUP=/sbin/vxdump
sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/sbin/vxrestore -f... -
sendbackup: info end
|   vxdump: Date of this level 2 dump: Thu Jan 15 03:16:21 2004
|   vxdump: Date of last level 1 dump: Tue Jan 13 02:07:53 2004
|   vxdump: Dumping /dev/vgdbconvert/rlvolconversion to standard output
|   vxdump: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
|   vxdump: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
|   vxdump: estimated 2377732 blocks (1161.00MB) on 0.02 tape(s).
|   vxdump: dumping (Pass III) [directories]

NOTES:
  planner: Incremental of logfly02:/conversion bumped to level 2.

I looked at the logs in /tmp/amanda on the client. I see it starting the dump but then just dies mysteriously

Any ideas?
