In the meantime I created a test configuration and ran amdump(8). However, this particular problem still exists. More specifically, now I get foo.salmi.ch:/ 0 44979k failed: process terminated while waiting for dumping foo.salmi.ch:/etc 1 4k failed: killed while writing to tape (7:45:12) bar.salmi.ch:/ 0 22788k failed: process terminated while waiting for dumping bar.salmi.ch:/etc 1 5k dump done (7:45:12), process terminated while waiting for writing to tape (bar is the Amanda server) The taper logfile reveals: [...] Amanda::Changer::compat initialized with script /usr/pkg/libexec/amanda/chg-disk, temporary directory /etc/pkg/amanda/Test Amanda::Taper::Scan::traditional stage 1: search for oldest reusable volume Amanda::Taper::Scan::traditional no oldest reusable volume Amanda::Taper::Scan::traditional stage 2: scan for any reusable volume Amanda::Changer::compat: invoking /usr/pkg/libexec/amanda/chg-disk with -info Amanda::Changer::compat: Got response '8 8 1' with exit status 0 Amanda::Changer::compat: invoking /usr/pkg/libexec/amanda/chg-disk with -slot current Amanda::Changer::compat: Got response '8 file:/var/amanda/vtapes/Test' with exit status 0 Slot 8 with label TEST08 is usable Amanda::Taper::Scan::traditional result: 'TEST08' on file:/var/amanda/vtapes/Test slot 8, mode 2 Amanda::Taper::Scribe preparing to write, part size 0, using LEOM (falling back to holding disk as cache) (splitter) (LEOM supported) critical (fatal): Can't locate object method "new" via package "Amanda::Xfer::Dest::Taper::Splitter" (perhaps you forgot to load "Amanda::Xfer::Dest::Taper::Splitter"?) at /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.16.0/Amanda/Taper/Scribe.pm line 731. Hmm, looks similar to the problem mentioned above... Any hints? > Another potential issue I noticed is with amstatus(8): [...] It seems that this problem was caused by reading an amdump output file created by 2.5.2p1 amdump with 3.3.1 amdump; amstatus(8) now seems to work fine. TIA & cheers, Jukka -- This email fills a much-needed gap in the archives.
