I recently added a new machine to my backups, and seem to be having a problem with a couple of file systems with "index tee cannot write [Broken pipe]" errors.
Client is Solaris 7 Server is Solaris 7 amanda version 2.4.2p2 gnutar 1.13.19 firewall between the two servers, but no security restrictions (as in all other backups work fine). Server is NAT'ed at firewall I've run some tests just backing one of those filesystems up, and no matter how I fiddle with the dumptype (thinking compression in particular might be part of the problem) I cannot get this error to go away. In test mode I'm trying to dump only to holding disk which has 11.5 GB free. The file system in question is only ~1.5 GBs. Larger filesystems on the same host can be backed up with the same dumptype parameters with no problems. When I was watching the backup being performed with "amstatus" it showed data being transferred, and the correct file was being created and updated on the server. I think when it stopped updating, the size sent reported by amstatus was a few KB (32?) over the estimated backup size (didnt write the data down like a fool) - I realize this may or may not mean a thing, but just throwing it out there. Here are some (hopefully!) appropriate log files (they dont tell me too much): ===================== log.20020225.0 from server ===================== START planner date 20020225 START driver date 20020225 ERROR taper no-tape [no tape online] FINISH planner date 20020225 STATS driver startup time 2.472 FAIL dumper rnbuyer /export/home 0 [mesg read: Connection timed out] sendbackup: start [rnbuyer:/export/home level 0] sendbackup: info BACKUP=/usr/local/bin/tar sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/usr/local/bin/tar -f... - sendbackup: info end FINISH driver date 20020225 time 7744.120 ===================== amdump.1 from server ===================== amdump: start at Mon Feb 25 10:38:00 EST 2002 planner: pid 5123 executable /usr/local/libexec/planner version 2.4.2p2 planner: build: VERSION="Amanda-2.4.2p2" planner: BUILT_DATE="Mon Jul 30 12:22:45 EDT 2001" planner: BUILT_MACH="SunOS utl-atl-05 5.7 Generic_106541-15 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-4" planner: CC="gcc" planner: paths: bindir="/usr/local/bin" sbindir="/usr/local/sbin" planner: libexecdir="/usr/local/libexec" mandir="/usr/local/man" planner: AMANDA_TMPDIR="/tmp/amanda" AMANDA_DBGDIR="/tmp/amanda" planner: CONFIG_DIR="/usr/local/etc/amanda" DEV_PREFIX="/dev/dsk/" planner: RDEV_PREFIX="/dev/rdsk/" DUMP="/usr/sbin/ufsdump" planner: RESTORE="/usr/sbin/ufsrestore" planner: SAMBA_CLIENT="/usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient" planner: GNUTAR="/usr/local/bin/tar" planner: COMPRESS_PATH="/usr/local/bin/gzip" planner: UNCOMPRESS_PATH="/usr/local/bin/gzip" planner: MAILER="/usr/bin/mailx" planner: listed_incr_dir="/usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists" planner: defs: DEFAULT_SERVER="utl-atl-06" DEFAULT_CONFIG="DailySet1" planner: DEFAULT_TAPE_SERVER="utl-atl-06" planner: DEFAULT_TAPE_DEVICE="/dev/null" HAVE_MMAP HAVE_SYSVSHM planner: LOCKING=POSIX_FCNTL SETPGRP_VOID DEBUG_CODE planner: AMANDA_DEBUG_DAYS=4 BSD_SECURITY USE_AMANDAHOSTS planner: CLIENT_LOGIN="siteops" FORCE_USERID HAVE_GZIP planner: COMPRESS_SUFFIX=".gz" COMPRESS_FAST_OPT="--fast" planner: COMPRESS_BEST_OPT="--best" UNCOMPRESS_OPT="-dc" planner: dgram_bind: socket bound to 0.0.0.0.603 READING CONF FILES... startup took 0.010 secs SETTING UP FOR ESTIMATES... setting up estimates for rnbuyer:/export/home rnbuyer:/export/home overdue 11744 days for level 0 setup_estimate: rnbuyer:/export/home: command 4, options: last_level -1 next_level0 -11744 level_days 0 getting estimates 0 (0) -1 (-1) -1 (-1) setting up estimates took 0.000 secs GETTING ESTIMATES... driver: pid 5122 executable /usr/local/libexec/driver version 2.4.2p2 driver: send-cmd time 0.005 to taper: START-TAPER 20020225 taper: pid 5124 executable taper version 2.4.2p2 driver: started dumper0 pid 5126 dumper: dgram_bind: socket bound to 0.0.0.0.606 dumper: pid 5126 executable dumper version 2.4.2p2, using port 606 dumper: dgram_bind: socket bound to 0.0.0.0.607 dumper: pid 5127 executable dumper version 2.4.2p2, using port 607 driver: started dumper1 pid 5127 driver: started dumper2 pid 5128 driver: started dumper3 pid 5129 driver: started dumper4 pid 5130 driver: started dumper5 pid 5131 dumper: dgram_bind: socket bound to 0.0.0.0.608 dumper: pid 5128 executable dumper version 2.4.2p2, using port 608 dumper: dgram_bind: socket bound to 0.0.0.0.610 dumper: pid 5130 executable dumper version 2.4.2p2, using port 610 dumper: dgram_bind: socket bound to 0.0.0.0.612 dumper: pid 5132 executable dumper version 2.4.2p2, using port 612 dumper: dgram_bind: socket bound to 0.0.0.0.611 dumper: pid 5131 executable dumper version 2.4.2p2, using port 611 driver: started dumper6 pid 5132 dumper: dgram_bind: socket bound to 0.0.0.0.609 dumper: pid 5129 executable dumper version 2.4.2p2, using port 609 dumper: dgram_bind: socket bound to 0.0.0.0.613 dumper: pid 5133 executable dumper version 2.4.2p2, using port 613 driver: started dumper7 pid 5133 got result for host rnbuyer disk /export/home: 0 -> 1546080K, -1 -> -1K, -1 -> -1K getting estimates took 2.524 secs FAILED QUEUE: empty DONE QUEUE: 0: rnbuyer /export/home ANALYZING ESTIMATES... pondering rnbuyer:/export/home... next_level0 -11744 last_level -1 (due for level 0) (new disk, can't switch to degraded mode) curr level 0 size 1546080 total size 1552176 total_lev0 1546080 balanced-lev0size 220868 INITIAL SCHEDULE (size 1552176): rnbuyer /export/home pri 11745 lev 0 size 1546080 DELAYING DUMPS IF NEEDED, total_size 1552176, tape length 51200000 mark 2000 delay: Total size now 1552176.
