I looked through my the daily email reports from amanda, and found that in the DUMP SUMMARY that one disk had been at level 9 for many days: HOSTNAME DISK L ORIG-KB OUT-KB COMP% MMM:SS KB/s MMM:SS KB/s -------------------------- --------------------------------- ------------ beowulf -a/mm5/2002 9 42346884234688 -- 4:4714754.8 14:564724.8 After issuing the following command, su amanda -c "amadmin Daily force beowulf /data/mm5/2002" the next night amanda ran successfully. I still have to work out the problems associated with having too many disks to dump, but at least amanda is running again. Thanks to all those who responded and helped me wrangle with amanda!
