increasing tar failures

Hi there,

over the last month or so I've been seeing increasing amounts of disk listentries showing this in the amanda report:


FAILED [/bin/tar returned 1]

I've gone to the hosts involved and checked their logs and really thatsabout as informative as it gets.

I've checked the tar command used on these hosts and run that to hand(sending to /dev/null) and have never seen tar fail yet.


Amanda versions vary a lot here, we have Debian Sarge, Etch and Lenny hosts.

Nothing major has changed with the hosts which have started to show thisproblem.

There have been no network changes in the form of routers, switches orfirewalls.


Can someone please suggest some further diagnostics?

Thanks!
