Hello!
I'm running a single-server configuration of Amanda 2.5.1p2 on FreeBSD 6.2.
Recently I added a new DLE. The next amdump run this DLE got dumped, but
this message was in the report:
driver: FATAL infofile update failed (hostname.com,'newDLE')
The FAQ-o-Matic says that this is permissions problem. If it is, I cannot
figure out how to fix it. In my amanda.conf I have infofile set up as this:
infofile "/var/amanda/BACKUP/curinfo"
I can see that Amanda has actually created the directory
/var/amanda/BACKUP/curinfo/hostname.com/newDLE, with permissions 0700 and
owned by backup:wheel ('backup' is my Amanda user). If I su to backup, I
can manually create files in this directory and walk down to this directory
from / with chdir. /var partition has 25 GB free space. So where's the problem?
