Running amanda 2.4.1p2 on Solaris 2.6. The gtar version is 1.11.8. All the
files systems are ufs except for one Veritas VxFS files system. The VxFS is
set to run with the GNUTAR dumptype and was working for many months.
Lately, however, amanda gives me the "syndesis1 /a lev 0 FAILED [disk /a
offline on syndesis1?]" error. According to the /tmp/amanda/runtar.debug
file on syndesis1, the gtar dump is initiating but is now going directly to
/dev/null. Any idea why this is happening, or where --file becomes
"/dev/null"? Maybe I'm reading it wrong but that looks like what's
happening.
Also, a file called /usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists/syndesis1_a_1 exists,
but is is mod-dated from the last amanda run where this dump didn't come up
as "FAILED--".
