Re: trouble with AMANDA server (taper) on amd64 using Debian/AMD64/Sarge
2005-11-26 03:55:57
Hi All,
I also encounter similar problem on RHEL 3 with ia32e and I am also using aic7xxx. I guess it is driver related problem coz I have also tried various kernel version (2.4-21-27 and also 2.4-21-32.0.1) and it did fail randomly and crashed once.
is there any ia32e mailing list ?
Rgds,
Frank

Hello folks ! I have been using AMANDA now for several years and find it to be a superb backup tool. I just converted one of my AMANDA backup servers (fea5) from an Alpha 64-bit machine running Debian/Sarge to a
new AMD64 64-bit machine also running Debian/Sarge. When writing to the tape using the /usr/lib/amanda/taper component of the amanda-server package
in 64-bit mode, the machine fails, and eventually hangs to the point of being unusable. However, if I issue the same commands in the chroot 32-bit mode environment, it works fine. Right now, I basically have to run the server
in 32-bit mode and the client in 64-bit mode. I would much prefer running the entire system cleanly
in 64-bit mode. I am including the taper error messages here for reference. Has anyone else experienced this problem ? If so how can it be corrected ? I have already issued a bug report to the Debian developers, but I have not obtained a solution and it has been several days
Partial list of the error messages (short enough to be able to send this e-mail to this mailing list):
