Hi all, I’ve written in about this before, but I have yet to find a satisfactory answer and am hoping someone has a solution. I have a Red Hat based Amanda server and mostly Red Hat Amanda clients with the exception of a few Windows 7 systems running the ZManda Community Windows Client. Everything works great until one of the Windows hosts is unavailable during backups. If that happens, not just that host will fail but other hosts (not all, but at least half or so) will also fail to back up properly. I can even see this problem when running an “amcheck”. If I comment out the problem Windows host from the disk list, I see no errors. However, if I leave the host in the disk list, I get errors about a number of our Linux clients like:
WARNING: foo.eecs.utk.edu: selfcheck request failed: error sending ACK: write error to: Broken pipe Note, this only happens when a Windows system is having problems, not if any of the Linux systems is down or otherwise unavailable when the backups run. I made sure to upgrade everything to 3.3.6 but that doesn’t seem to have fixed things. Does anyone have the same experience? Thanks, Markus --- Markus A.
