For about a week one of my amanda clients has been timing out during
planning. If I go into /tmp/amanda on thames (the client) I see a file
like:

By comparison to other machines that do work, nothing in the above looks
amiss.
Moving over to the server (amazon), I see in the log
DISK planner thames /
DISK planner thames /boot
DISK planner thames /export/common
DISK planner thames /export/edi
DISK planner thames /export/netapps
DISK planner thames /export/private
DISK planner thames /export/public
DISK planner thames /var
And then a few lines later
FAIL planner thames /var 20060131 0 [Request to thames timed out.]
FAIL planner thames /export/public 20060131 0 [Request to thames timed out.]
FAIL planner thames /export/private 20060131 0 [Request to thames timed
out.]
FAIL planner thames /export/netapps 20060131 0 [Request to thames timed
out.]
FAIL planner thames /export/edi 20060131 0 [Request to thames timed out.]
FAIL planner thames /export/common 20060131 0 [Request to thames timed out.]
FAIL planner thames /boot 20060131 0 [Request to thames timed out.]
FAIL planner thames / 20060131 0 [Request to thames timed out.]
However, there is no indication on thames that the planner packet(s)
were ever received. Shouldn't I at least see a sendsize.nnnnnn.debug
file?
Amazon is running amanda 2.4.5. Thames was running 2.4.3b2 when this
all started but is now running 2.4.5p1.
Fortunately in this case, none of the above is big problem. Thames is
scheduled to be replaced soon and all of the "important" data is being
mirrored to its replacement. Nevertheless, it is a bit frustrating to a
have my backups mysteriously quit working on me.
Suggestions are welcome.
