amcheck/amdump fails (sometimes) to amanda client
2004-05-20 14:14:28
The machines in question are both on a 10Mb hub. The tape server is a new
RedHat Enterprise Linux running amanda-2.4.4p1-0.3E direct from the RedHat
distribution. The client (named "marge") is running FreeBSD 4.7, running
amanda 2.4.4p2 compiled from source that I downloaded yesterday in an
attempt to solve the problem. It is compiled with:
./configure --without-server --with-group=amanda --with-user=amanda
--with-amandahosts
When I run amcheck (as amanda) manually on the RedHat machine, it reports no
problems with the FreeBSD machine. The FreeBSD machine (marge) creates
debug files in /tmp/amanda and everything seems to be working fine.
However, when amcheck is run from cron, as amanda, with the following line:
0 16 * * 1-5 /usr/sbin/amcheck -m KBack
... it reports, every day:
WARNING: marge: selfcheck request timed out. Host down?
Also, the amdump command, run from crontab as this:
45 0 * * 2-6 /usr/sbin/amdump KBack
also fails with
marge /var RESULTS MISSING
In these cron cases, no files are created in /tmp/amanda on marge.
So why does it work in a terminal but fail when run from cron?
By the way, the RedHat tape server is new, but amanda on marge had been
working fine with an older RedHat system earlier.
