I've been having trouble backing up one client, where I changed the
dumptype to use tar on one of its filesystems (and I'm using tar 1.13.17 on
the client). All other clients use dump, and while I left the etimeout
setting to the default of 600, the backup ran fine except for the client
using tar. The result would be that it would report a "Request timed out"
but everything else would get backed up. I decided to play around with the
etimeout setting, and with the understanding that the timeout would be
multiplied by the number of filesystems. I changed etimeout to be 1800 (30
minutes) and my backup was supposed to start last night at 10:00 p.m. This
client, client-a below, has five file systems, so it should have timed out
after 2.5 hours. Here is is 12:30 p.m. the next day and from running
amstatus, I get:
Using /usr/local/amanda/daily/amdump from Tue Jan 30 22:30:00 CST 2001

client-d.foo.com:/var 0 22241k estimate done
I don't see anything amanda related running on either the client or the
amanda server. I've seen the messages about tar-related backups taking an
extremely long time but I think 15 hours seems kind of long. On client-a,
I'm only using tar for the '/' filesystem, which is 275MB. On the client,
the only files in /tmp/amanda with a timestamp from yesterday are
selfcheck.debug and amandad.debug which are included below.
Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions, admonishments?
