Hi There,

I search for this subject in the foruns, found similar cases, but no the exact situation and no solution neither.
Server: CentOS 5.11, Amanda server 2.6.1
Clients: Several linux...

I figure out what is different: On openSuse the block size of tape is 32kbytes. On CentOS is 512bytes; don't ask me why....

Anyway, on CentOS, the command "mt setblk 32k" restore the tape to same...

Hi,

I was using amanda 2.6.1p1 in a Dell Poweredge 2950 server, running openSuSE 10.2 i586 (32 bits).
Everything was fine, except the OS becomes obsolete and I had to move to a more recent OS....

thank you, dustin. As always it is a interface problem: The interface between the chair and the keyboard.....

I will try to figure out which is the block size I am using.

In tape device...

No, I can't.


dd: reading `/dev/nst0': Input/output error
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes (0 B) copied, 9.6174 s, 0.0 kB/s


and a re-labeled tape is readable, as expected:

No, I'm not. (or as far as I know, I am not using a custom block size).
Anyway, I can double check this. How can I check what is the current block size ?
I search recursively on /etc/amanda for...

Hi,
I'm sorry if this is not the proper place for this post, but since it is a problem with the last release, I think it is the right place, mainly because there is nothing on release notes about...

SOLVED !



Thanks Martineau ! It worked !

In fact I had to change the patch to

I'm sorry, I never used the ssh authentication. I'm afraid I don't have any other ideas to help you.....
I hope others can.

cheers

Hi,

Sorry, I forgot to ask to you return the value of command:


/bin/su - amandabackup -c "amgetconf diario tapedev"


Anyway, if it is "tape:/dev/whatever" your backups will be saved on a...

SOLVED !

Hi pyeatman, hi martineau
I was wondering why there is no new amandad.*.debug files on client that Martineau asks and Pyeatman re-enforced.
I realize /tmp/amanda and /var/log/amanda...

hi !

what is the output of the folowing commands ?

amgetconf daily tapetype

and

amgetconf daily --list holdingdisk

I am not sure if it is the same on linux. On linux it is /etc/xinetd.d/amandaclient and it looks like this:


[[email protected] ~]$ cat /etc/xinetd.d/amandaclient

Hi !

Is carona.rrap-software.com the Solaris 10 right ?
Looks like a remote connection problem. It has any kind of firewall running on it (iptables/ipchains) ?

On Solaris, check the inetd...

No, there is no new files on /var/log/amanda. Just old files from the previous version 2.5.2p1.



Yes, there is, but not anything it can give hints, at least for me.
The old amanda package...

Gosh, another issue...

I am using amanda server 2.6.0p2 on a openSuSE.
The server is already running for a few weeks and it has just one another openSuSE client - no problems.

Today I added...

Hi martineau, it is amanda-backup_server-2.6.0p2-1.suse10.


Looks like there is a bug somewhere....
Every day there is a different backup image after the 2 samba images.
And, in a consistent...

I have two samba DLE in my disklist. They are:

Hi Mark,

No. The tapes are reused after the data on it is expired.
dumpcycle, runspercycle and tapecycle all controls how much tapes you need to a complete cycle of backups.


This is not...

Hi !

Looks like amrecover is not using the default tape drive as configured in amanda.conf. I need to explicit indicate the correct tape drive on command line.

using the default tape drive....

Hey guys,

Looks like the problem was solved by excluding the holding disk folder from the backup.
This was the main problem after all. The holding disk was empty at the beginning of a backup, but...

I made some changes in the var DLE, excluding some big and useless folders. How can I check right now if it solved the problem with the estimate size of backup, without to wait the backup report...

Thanks marineu, thnaks dustin !

martineau, you are right. maxdumpsize have a implicit multiplier which is k. So I put a multiplier for myself to force an specific multiplier. (I think this must be...

Hi !

I am using amanda 2.6.0p2 on a openSuSE 10.2 and amcheckdump is returning errors every time a samba DLE is checked:
