Re: amcheck reports amadad busy!

2008/5/17 FL <lengyel AT gmail DOT com>:

amanda was running fine against one client, until recently: amandad
thinks it's busy.
I'm not at all sure what changed or why it thinks it is busy:

Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /var/tmp/amanda: 16963120 KB disk space available, that's plenty
amcheck-server: slot 28: date 20080516 label Daily028 (active tape)
amcheck-server: slot 29: date 20080312 label Daily029 (exact label match)
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Tape Daily029 label ok
Server check took 152.753 seconds

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: NAK m248.gc.cuny.edu: amandad busy
Client check: 6 hosts checked in 10.798 seconds, 1 problem found

(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.4p3)

Maybe an old amandad process is still running? I don't know if amandad creates a pid file when it's running but there might be a pid file not deleted even though amandad has exited after the last backup run.
