You are welcome Dustin. But understand I do this with the image of the canary in the coal mine in mind. If my canary dies, its time to yelp. Its been pretty healthy of late so I don't have anything to fuss about other than tars penchant for triggering an Oopsen on the estimate run of the first amanda invocation after a reboot. Just in case you haven't seen that yet, here it is so you can pass judgment and/or point a finger: =============== Aug 5 01:15:01 coyote xinetd[2259]: START: amanda pid=19290 from=::ffff:192.168.71.3 Aug 5 01:16:16 coyote kernel: [ 8621.118387] BUG: Bad page state in process tar pfn:a1193 Aug 5 01:16:16 coyote kernel: [ 8621.118394] page:c28fc260 flags:80004000 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping:(null) index:0 Aug 5 01:16:16 coyote kernel: [ 8621.118398] Pid: 19517, comm: tar Not tainted 2.6.31-rc5 #3 Aug 5 01:16:16 coyote kernel: [ 8621.118400] Call Trace: Aug 5 01:16:16 coyote kernel: [ 8621.118408] [<c130cc83>] ? printk+0x23/0x40 Aug 5 01:16:16 coyote kernel: [ 8621.118414] [<c1083d6f>] bad_page+0xcf/0x150 Aug 5 01:16:16 coyote kernel: [ 8621.118417] [<c1084e0d>] get_page_from_freelist+0x37d/0x480 Aug 5 01:16:16 coyote kernel: [ 8621.118421] [<c107ed54>] ? add_to_page_cache_lru+0x84/0x90 Aug 5 01:16:16 coyote kernel: [ 8621.118424] [<c10850ef>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0xdf/0x520 Aug 5 01:16:16 coyote kernel: [ 8621.118429] [<c1052bbd>] ? hrtimer_interrupt+0xdd/0x250 Aug 5 01:16:16 coyote kernel: [ 8621.118432] [<c1087954>] __do_page_cache_readahead+0x104/0x220 Aug 5 01:16:16 coyote kernel: [ 8621.118436] [<c1087aa4>] ra_submit+0x34/0x50 Aug 5 01:16:16 coyote kernel: [ 8621.118438] [<c1087d00>] ondemand_readahead+0x120/0x240 Aug 5 01:16:16 coyote kernel: [ 8621.118441] [<c1087ebc>] page_cache_async_readahead+0x9c/0xb0 Aug 5 01:16:16 coyote kernel: [ 8621.118445] [<c10806ac>] generic_file_aio_read+0x33c/0x6a0 Aug 5 01:16:16 coyote kernel: [ 8621.118468] [<c10b09c9>] do_sync_read+0xe9/0x140 Aug 5 01:16:16 coyote kernel: [ 8621.118472] [<c104e400>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x60 Aug 5 01:16:16 coyote kernel: [ 8621.118477] [<c115211e>] ? security_file_permission+0x1e/0x40 Aug 5 01:16:16 coyote kernel: [ 8621.118479] [<c10b0a80>] ? rw_verify_area+0x60/0xe0 Aug 5 01:16:16 coyote kernel: [ 8621.118483] [<c10b1827>] vfs_read+0xb7/0x180 Aug 5 01:16:16 coyote kernel: [ 8621.118485] [<c10b08e0>] ? do_sync_read+0x0/0x140 Aug 5 01:16:16 coyote kernel: [ 8621.118488] [<c10b19f8>] sys_read+0x58/0xa0 Aug 5 01:16:16 coyote kernel: [ 8621.118491] [<c10031b7>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x22 Aug 5 01:16:16 coyote kernel: [ 8621.118494] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint Aug 5 01:21:01 coyote xinetd[2259]: EXIT: amanda status=0 pid=19290 duration=360(sec) ========================================= that was I believe the estimate run.
