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

[hmm, disk was stranded on waitq]

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.

Find out what they are doing there.
If you have no clue how to do that, or you're not
interested, just proceed.
Kill them.
Then run amcleanup.
Then try amcheck again.


(Maybe time to upgrade?  2.5.0p2 is already quiet old,
and has some know defects.)



Kindly suggest a way to get this problem resolved.

Thanks in advance

Yogesh
