Hi, With amanda-2.5.2p1 I did an archive a few days ago and trying to restore it caused me a few problems: amfetchdump tells me that there is no valid data to be restored for that date and amadmin reports a connection timeout:
grumpy: /opt/amanda/sbin/amfetchdump -p -d /dev/nst1 archive-nihpd3-right1 \ yorick /data/nihpd/nihpd3/data/mri_processing/1.1 20071022 | tar -tvf - No matching dumps found grumpy: su amanda -c "/opt/amanda/sbin/amadmin archive-nihpd3-right1 \ find yorick /data/nihpd/nihpd3/data/mri_processing/1.1" 2007-10-22 yorick /data/nihpd/nihpd3/data/mri_processing/1.1 0 av24-1_archive-nihpd3-right1_T00006L3 0 -- FAILED (dumper) [data read: recv error: Connection timed out] However I was able to manually extract all the chunks on that tape and, after reassembling them, to untar everything without a glitch. Looking at the logs I see that it was retried with success: DISK planner yorick /data/nihpd/nihpd3/data/mri_processing/1.1 FAIL dumper yorick /data/nihpd/nihpd3/data/mri_processing/1.1 20071022 0 [data read: recv error: Connection timed out] sendbackup: start [yorick:/data/nihpd/nihpd3/data/mri_processing/1.1 level 0] PARTIAL chunker yorick /data/nihpd/nihpd3/data/mri_processing/1.1 20071022 0 [sec 9771.397 kb 105401080 kps 10786.7] SUCCESS dumper yorick /data/nihpd/nihpd3/data/mri_processing/1.1 20071022 0 [sec 10432.472 kb 113375650 kps 10867.6 orig-kb 113375650] SUCCESS chunker yorick /data/nihpd/nihpd3/data/mri_processing/1.1 20071022 0 [sec 10432.600 kb 113375650 kps 10867.4] STATS driver estimate yorick /data/nihpd/nihpd3/data/mri_processing/1.1 20071022 0 [sec 8192 nkb 113375682 ckb 113375712 kps 13840] CHUNK taper yorick /data/nihpd/nihpd3/data/mri_processing/1.1 20071022 1 0 [sec 197.311 kb 5242848 kps 26571.5 {wr: writers 163840 rdwait 79.637 wrwait 112.112 filemark 4.930}] CHUNK taper yorick /data/nihpd/nihpd3/data/mri_processing/1.1 20071022 2 0 [sec 101.364 kb 5242848 kps 51722.7 {wr: writers 163840 rdwait 42.617 wrwait 57.238 filemark 1.013}] ...
