Hello everyone,
Approximately once a month, some of my servers fail to make backups
with this error message:
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
capote sda8 lev 1 FAILED [ [access as backup not allowed from sys-maint
AT linuxbackup2.smarterlinux DOT com] open of /var/backups/.amandahosts failed]
Strange.
Is /var/backup a local filesystem? Or mounted via NFS?
Is the user "backup" defined in the local password file or via yp/ldap?
Or both? And are they consistent (e.g. same uid/gid in both places?)
Is the DNS consistently giving back the same hostname?
("linuxbackup2.smarterlinux.com", always FQDN too?)
Has one of the hosts two interface cards, and are they reverse resolved
identically? (if not, add lines to .amandahosts)
