The strange behavior described here started when I upgraded my server to amanda-2.5.0. I was wondering if anyone else had seen this behavior:


I run amanda 2.5.0 with a Redhat Linux 9 server attached to an ADIC Scalar 24 changer. My configuration backs up about 20 clients (mix of linux and SunOS, running various amanda versions from 2.4.3 to 2.5.0) with about 65 DLEs. I backup about 200GB per night with a dumpcycle of 7 days.

This configuration has been successfully running for about a year, and seems to still be successful.

So here is the point of this message. I upgraded the server from amanda 2.4.4p4 to 2.5.0 on March 30 and things appear to be running fine. Backups proceed and I've done successful restores.

But In the amanda mail report I get messages like this:

DUMP SUMMARY:
DUMPER STATS TAPER STATS HOSTNAME DISK L ORIG-kB OUT-kB COMP% client1.here.org / 1 23290 5568 23.9 client1.here.org / MISSING ------------------------------

client2.here.org -/coldprobe 0 93053120 93053152 -- client2.here.org -/coldprobe MISSING---------------------

It looks like these dumps have succeeded, but they are ALSO reported as missing! Not all DLEs are reported missing, and the "MISSING" ones are different each night (different hosts, different DLEs). Some nights there are no "MISSING" entries, some nights there are a couple, some nights there are five or six.

This started with the upgrade to amanda-2.5.0 on the server. No changes were made to the disklist at that time. I thought perhaps I had duplicate entries in the disklist file, and amanda's handling of them had changed, but that does not appear to be the case.

Is this something I should be worried about? Has anyone else seen this behavior?


There was a similar report by Nicolas Maire <trexmaster AT gmail DOT com>
on April 18, subject was "Problem in Amanda Report".

But it was a short-lived thread with no obvious resolution.



I had no time to look at it then.
I have more time now.

Can you send the amdump.X file that goes with this report to me?

Obvious question:  are there any files autoflushed from previous run?
