Hello Folks, I think that this is an old bug that has come back in version 3.4.5.
If one of the clients is not reachable for an ‘amcheck’, then I get multiple errors: ############# [root@beagle amandad]# su amandabackup -c '/usr/sbin/amcheck Journalier-VTAPE' Amanda Tape Server Host Check ----------------------------- NOTE: Holding disk '/amanda/stage/Journalier-VTAPE': 6194409472 KB disk space available, using 1048576000 KB as requested Searching for label 'vtape-4':found in slot 4: volume 'vtape-4' Will write to volume 'vtape-4' in slot 4. NOTE: skipping tape-writable test Server check took 0.260 seconds Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- ERROR: trinidad: selfcheck request failed: error sending REQ: write error to: Broken pipe ERROR: ada: selfcheck request failed: error sending REQ: write error to: Broken pipe ERROR: moe-alt: selfcheck request failed: error sending REQ: write error to: Broken pipe ERROR: moe-180: selfcheck request failed: error sending REQ: write error to: Broken pipe ERROR: ldap1: selfcheck request failed: error sending REQ: write error to: Broken pipe ERROR: nanofs: selfcheck request failed: error sending REQ: write error to: Broken pipe ERROR: bonne: selfcheck request failed: Connection timed out Client check: 14 hosts checked in 392.043 seconds. 7 problems found.

I remove the entry for that client in the ‘disklist’ and everything works fine: ############# [root@beagle amandad]# su amandabackup -c '/usr/sbin/amcheck Journalier-VTAPE' Amanda Tape Server Host Check ----------------------------- NOTE: Holding disk '/amanda/stage/Journalier-VTAPE': 6194409472 KB disk space available, using 1048576000 KB as requested Searching for label 'vtape-4':found in slot 4: volume 'vtape-4' Will write to volume 'vtape-4' in slot 4.

(brought to you by Amanda 3.4.5) ############# We were using 3.3.7 not so long ago and I don’t seem to remember having this kind of problem when an amanda client was down. Is this a known bug? Thank You!
