Every day for the last few weeks (since May 30) one partition of a
remote machine fails with an "all estimate failed" error.
The exact error is:
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
luna.elaw.org /zope lev 0 FAILED [disk /zope, all estimate failed]
If I run "amcheck daily" as the "operator" user before the job runs, I
receive this message during the "Backup Client Hosts Check" portion:
"ERROR: luna.elaw.org: [could not access /dev/ad0s1e (/zope): Permission
denied]"
Despite that error, I cannot find a permissions problem; the permissions
on the root directory are "drwxr-xr-x root:wheel" and on the /zope
directory "drwxr-xr-x root:wheel". Inside the /zope directory,
everything (at least at the top level) is drwxr-xr-x zope:zope.
I've been backing up both of these systems with Amanda for several years
and haven't ever had estimates for a partition just stop working. I'm
running Amanda version 2.4.5p1, gtar-1.13.25 on the Amanda host; and
gtar-1.16_2 on the remote host. Both hosts are running FreeBSD
4.11-RELEASE-p26.
I've looked in the /tmp/amanda/*.debug files, as suggested in this
thread: <http://forums.zmanda.com/archive/index.php/t-299.html>, but
haven't found anything that looks troublesome.
Anyone have any thoughts about where to look from here?
have you upgraded the gtar on the client recently?
gtar 1.16 returns 1 when it sees size of a file changes. It's a new behavior that breaks
Amanda prior to Amanda-2.5.1p2.
