Hello,

We use Amanda 2.5.0p2 for our backup requirements.
Actually the same Linux host acts a backup server as
well as a backup client. The backup process has been
working fine for more than last 6 months. Have started
observing a few problems since last 2 days. Error
observed after running "amcheck <config_name>" is as
given here:

  Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: <client_name>: selfcheck request failed:
timeout waiting for REP
Client check: 1 host checked in 91.097 seconds, 1
problem found

(brought to you by Amanda 2.5.0p2)

 The /var/log/amanda/<config_name>/log.20071105.0 has
the following contents:

START driver date 20071105
DISK planner <client_name> /vol/vol1/home
START planner date 20071105
STATS driver startup time 0.054
START taper datestamp 20071105 label tendaily-06 tape
0
ERROR planner Request to <client_name> failed: timeout

FAIL planner <client_name> /vol/vol1/home 20071105 0
[hmm, disk was stranded on waitq]
FINISH planner date 20071105 time 9000.516
WARNING driver WARNING: got empty schedule from
planner
INFO taper tape tendaily-06 kb 0 fm 0 [OK]
FINISH driver date 20071105 time 9005.932

On doing "ps -ef | grep amanda", a few backdated
selfcheck and sendsize processes are seen to be
running. 

Kindly suggest a way to get this problem resolved.

Thanks in advance

Yogesh
