Amanda Debugging

Hello All,

It's been a while since I have had to seek advise here. I have been runningamanda for many years now with little trouble. Everything has been runningsmoothly for quite a while now. Until yesterday. The backups never finishedand when my scheduled amcheck ran I was alerted.

After going through some log files I was unable to determine where / what mayhave caused the hang.

It then did the same this morning. The backup server was sitting idle, amdumpprocesses were there, not sure about taper or others. I went ahead and killedit off did an amcleanup and then amflush. Oddly enough amflush reportednothing to flush. The mail report I got from amcleanup simply showed 'resultsmissing' for ALL dle's.

I tried to do it all again and pretty much the same result. Amcheck reportsno problems.

Looking on the clients, I found no activity except on one gtar process on oneDLE. That client also has amdumps and sendsize running. Using very little cpu.

So, I was wondering what logs I can look at to see where in the process theserver is at? Maybe what it is waiting on? I always thought it would processmultiple dle's at a time an not hang waiting on one?


Using Amanda-2.5.2p1 on the RHEL server.
I am using Amanda-2.5.2p1 through amanda-2.6.0p2 on the clients, RHEL or centos.

Ideas / Suggestions?

TIA
