Hi everyone
I've been using Amanda now for about 2 months to back up 5 Unix machines
with great success. It's a wonderful tool that makes life soooo much
easier for a time-strapped grad student.
I'm running Amanda 2.4.1p1 on Irix 6.5.11. Over the last week or so,
amdump has not been able to get a result for the size estimate of one of
the filesystems on the amanda server. Amcheck finds no host errors,
however, the amdump report goes:
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
columbus /dev/dsk/dks1d3s7 lev 0 FAILED [missing result for
/dev/dsk/dks1d3s7 in columbus.che.udel.edu response]
If I look into amdump.1, I see for columbus:
SETTING UP FOR ESTIMATES...
setup_estimate: columbus:/dev/dsk/dks1d3s7: command 0, options:
last_level 0 next_level0 0 level_days 0
getting estimates 0 (15426316) 1 (120595) -1 (-1)
GETTING ESTIMATES...
error result for host columbus disk /dev/dsk/dks1d3s7: missing estimate
I've checked all permissions, specifically, /dev/dsk/dks1d3s7, not
amanda is in group sys,
brw-r----- 1 root sys 0,195 Jul 20 10:44
/dev/dsk/dks1d3s7
Also, /dev/rdsk/dks1d3s7
crw-r----- 1 root sys 0,196 Jul 20 10:45
/dev/rdsk/dks1d3s7
What will cause a failure in estimating the filesystem size?
Thanks for the help!
Jan
