all estimate failed error on amanda client
2005-01-06 21:39:52
Greetings. I have installed Amanda on two FreeBSD 5.2.1 boxes, Host A and
Host B. Host A is the Amanda server, and has the amanda-server package
installed from ports. Host B has the amanda-client package. I've added a
couple of Host B's partitions in Host A's disklist.
I'm getting this error in the nightly Amanda reports:
hostb /usr/home lev 0 FAILED [disk /usr/home, all estimate failed]
hostb /var lev 0 FAILED [disk /var, all estimate failed]
The backups on host A are working fine. On the client (host B) I've
followed the directions here:
http://amanda.sourceforge.net/docs/install.html#id2539781
There is no firewall or other external impediment between the two boxes.
Both boxes run amanda as user "operator" which by default in FreeBSD has
no home directory. I have placed identical .amandahosts files in the root
directory of both boxes.
Any clues as to why backups of Host B are failing?
thanks
dn
