Hi there,

I need a little help. I've installed Amanda server with clients through a firewall. Everything is OK except when the disklist includes the AIX client the amverify command on the server produces hundreds of these errors:

/bin/gtar: ./987366/cred: invalid sparse archive member

/bin/gtar: ./987366/sigact: invalid sparse archive member

/bin/gtar: ./991470/sigact: invalid sparse archive member

/bin/gtar: ./995570/cred: invalid sparse archive member

/bin/gtar: ./995570/sigact: invalid sparse archive member

/bin/gtar: ./999676/sigact: invalid sparse archive member

 

The tar version from both machines:

AIX Client:

(/)-> which tar

/usr/bin/tar

(/)-> /usr/bin/tar --version

tar (GNU tar) 1.15.1

(/)->

 

RedHat Server:

(/root)-> which tar

/bin/tar

(/root)-> /bin/tar --version

tar (GNU tar) 1.15.1

(/root)->

 

amverify does not write to the /tmp/amanda place like it’s supposed to either.

 

Any ideas?
