We're running amanda-2.4.5p1 server on a white box under debian/sarge.
We're backing up from 8 hosts without any problems beyond an occasional client timeout. Working clients are running debian/sarge, RHAS 2.1, and AIX 5, and the same 2.4.5p1 release of amanda. We have a CentOS 4.1 client that is failing consistently with client-side timeouts. The client starts, dumps 35 MB to the server, then times out. The partition being dumped is around 1 GB. The time out occurs when iptables on the client is turned on, and also when it is turned off. Gtar is 1.15.1. Timeout messages in /tmp/amanda/sendbackup.* on the client look like this: --- sendbackup: debug 1 pid 18885 ruid 518 euid 518: start at Fri Feb 10 02:20:02 2006 [snip] sendbackup: time 0.001: got all connections [snip] sendbackup-gnutar: time 0.062: doing level 0 dump from date: 1970-01-01 0:00:00 GMT [snip] sendbackup-gnutar: time 0.064: /usr/local/amanda/2.4.5p1/libexec/runtar: pid 18889 sendbackup: time 958.026: index tee cannot write [Connection timed out] sendbackup: time 958.026: pid 18887 finish time Fri Feb 10 02:36:00 2006 sendbackup: time 958.026: 125: strange(?): sendbackup: index tee cannot write [Connection timed out] sendbackup: time 958.028: error [/usr/local/amanda/2.4.5p1/bin/gtar got signal 13] sendbackup: time 958.028: pid 18885 finish time Fri Feb 10 02:36:00 2006 --- We reduced the keepalive interval on both client and server but didn't see a change. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks, Roy Heimbach -- Roy Heimbach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> / 505-277-8348 User Services / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / University of New Mexico
