we are running amanda for our daily backups on nearly 40 machines.
tape and index server is the same machine and runs 2.4.2p2.
i changed one of the client-only machines from 2.4.2.p2 to 2.4.4p1 and problems begin. the error is
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: x hd2 lev 0 FAILED [missing result for hd2 in x response] x hd1 lev 0 FAILED [missing result for hd1 in x response]
for two different disks in x machine. i am pretty sure that the configuration of one of the disks is same as before, i changed the other from DUMP to GNUTAR as a test.
the problem is, how can i trace this error. i looked at the x machines' /tmp/amanda directory and found a core file dated as just after sendsize file and before amandad file. the output on amandad file is as follows:
