This is a sendbackup debug file from my amanda client, a Solaris 10 Sparc system with amanda 2.6.1p1.
The server is a solaris 9, with amanda 2.4.* We backup several other smaller partitions between this client and server successfully but this one has been failing intermittently and with greater frequency. The server has 150+gig of work area and this partition less than 35 gig. The server sees a data timeout and quits, even when I run an amdump of just this single partition, increasing dtimeout has not helped but only increased time waiting for failure. I don't see anything on the server logs, this is the client debug log. Is it normal - I don't see anything here that is helping me to understand the failure. sendbackup.20100329114212.debug ------------------------------- 1269877332.151343: sendbackup: pid 18726 ruid 110 euid 110 version 2.6.1p1: start at Mon Mar 29 11:42:12 2010 1269877332.151662: sendbackup: rlimit_nofile: 65536 65536 1269877332.151732: sendbackup: rlimit_nofile: 65536 65536 1269877332.152236: sendbackup: version 2.6.1p1 1269877332.152271: sendbackup: build: VERSION="Amanda-2.6.1p1" 1269877332.152301: sendbackup: BUILT_DATE="Wed Jul 22 15:53:06 EDT 2009" 1269877332.152330: sendbackup: BUILT_MACH="sparc-sun-solaris2.10" BUILT_REV="2059" 1269877332.152358: sendbackup: BUILT_BRANCH="amanda-261" CC="cc" 1269877332.152387: sendbackup: paths: bindir="/usr/local/bin" sbindir="/usr/local/sbin" 1269877332.152415: sendbackup: libexecdir="/usr/local/libexec" 1269877332.152443: sendbackup: amlibexecdir="/usr/local/libexec/amanda" 1269877332.152472: sendbackup: mandir="/usr/local/share/man" AMANDA_TMPDIR="/tmp/amanda" 1269877332.152500: sendbackup: AMANDA_DBGDIR="/tmp/amanda" 1269877332.152528: sendbackup: CONFIG_DIR="/usr/local/etc/amanda" DEV_PREFIX="/dev/dsk/" 1269877332.152557: sendbackup: RDEV_PREFIX="/dev/rdsk/" DUMP="/usr/sbin/ufsdump" 1269877332.152586: sendbackup: RESTORE="/usr/sbin/ufsrestore" VDUMP=UNDEF VRESTORE=UNDEF 1269877332.152614: sendbackup: XFSDUMP=UNDEF XFSRESTORE=UNDEF VXDUMP=UNDEF VXRESTORE=UNDEF 1269877332.152643: sendbackup: SAMBA_CLIENT="/usr/sfw/bin/smbclient" 1269877332.152671: sendbackup: GNUTAR="/usr/sfw/bin/gtar" COMPRESS_PATH="/bin/gzip" 1269877332.152700: sendbackup: UNCOMPRESS_PATH="/bin/gzip" LPRCMD="/bin/lpr" 1269877332.152728: sendbackup: MAILER=UNDEF 1269877332.152756: sendbackup: listed_incr_dir="/usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists" 1269877332.152784: sendbackup: defs: DEFAULT_SERVER="lyra" DEFAULT_CONFIG="DailySet1" 1269877332.152813: sendbackup: DEFAULT_TAPE_SERVER="lyra" DEFAULT_TAPE_DEVICE="" 1269877332.152841: sendbackup: HAVE_MMAP NEED_STRSTR HAVE_SYSVSHM AMFLOCK_POSIX AMFLOCK_LOCKF 1269877332.152870: sendbackup: AMFLOCK_LNLOCK SETPGRP_VOID AMANDA_DEBUG_DAYS=4 BSD_SECURITY 1269877332.152898: sendbackup: USE_AMANDAHOSTS CLIENT_LOGIN="amanda" CHECK_USERID HAVE_GZIP 1269877332.152927: sendbackup: COMPRESS_SUFFIX=".gz" COMPRESS_FAST_OPT="--fast" 1269877332.152955: sendbackup: COMPRESS_BEST_OPT="--best" UNCOMPRESS_OPT="-dc" 1269877332.153603: sendbackup: Version 2.6.1p1 1269877332.177720: sendbackup: sendbackup req: <GNUTAR /export/zones/sc1beaz1 0 1970:1:1:0:0:0 OPTIONS |;auth=bsd;compress-fast;exclude-list=/export/home/amanda/exclude-list;> 1269877332.179936: sendbackup: Parsed request as: program `GNUTAR' 1269877332.179973: sendbackup: disk `/export/zones/sc1beaz1' 1269877332.180004: sendbackup: device `/export/zones/sc1beaz1' 1269877332.180034: sendbackup: level 0 1269877332.180062: sendbackup: since 1970:1:1:0:0:0 1269877332.180091: sendbackup: options `|;auth=bsd;compress-fast;exclude-list=/export/home/amanda/exclude-list;' 1269877332.181750: sendbackup: start: dorldom1:/export/zones/sc1beaz1 lev 0 1269877332.183330: sendbackup: pipespawnv: stdoutfd is 50 1269877332.183457: sendbackup: Spawning "/bin/gzip /bin/gzip --fast" in pipeline 1269877332.186133: sendbackup: gnutar: pid 18729: /bin/gzip1269877332.187632: sendbackup: pid 18729: /bin/gzip --fast 1269877332.188496: sendbackup: doing level 0 dump as listed-incremental to '/usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists/dorldom1_export_zones_sc1beaz1_0.new' 1269877332.208128: sendbackup: pipespawnv: stdoutfd is 6 1269877332.208952: sendbackup: Spawning "/usr/local/libexec/amanda/runtar runtar NOCONFIG /usr/sfw/bin/gtar --create --file - --directory /export/zones/sc1beaz1 --one-file-system --listed-incremental /usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists/dorldom1_export_zones_sc1beaz1_0.new --sparse --ignore-failed-read --totals --exclude-from /tmp/amanda/sendbackup._export_zones_sc1beaz1.20100329114212.exclude ." in pipeline 1269877332.212138: sendbackup: gnutar: /usr/local/libexec/amanda/runtar: pid 18730 1269877332.215555: sendbackup: Started backup 1269881452.416172: sendbackup: 47: size(|): Total bytes written: 21962936320 (21GiB, 5.1MiB/s) 1269881452.516791: sendbackup: Parsed backup messages 1269881452.517679: sendbackup: pid 18726 finish time Mon Mar 29 12:50:52 2010 ----- End forwarded message ----- --- Brian R Cuttler brian.cutt...@wadsworth.org Computer Systems Support (v) 518 486-1697 Wadsworth Center (f) 518 473-6384 NYS Department of Health Help Desk 518 473-0773 IMPORTANT NOTICE: This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential or sensitive information which is, or may be, legally privileged or otherwise protected by law from further disclosure.
