The procs hang ( I think until timeout ) and get an EOF in the log. The fact that amandad is defunct must be what is hanging the backup, I have not been able to figure out why amandad is going defunct though. rob sshd───amandad─┬─2*[amandad] └─sendsize───2*[sendsize───calcsize] root 20206 1322 0 17:18 ? 00:00:00 sshd: backup [priv] backup 20217 1 0 17:18 ? 00:00:00 /lib/systemd/systemd --user backup 20218 20217 0 17:18 ? 00:00:00 (sd-pam) backup 20255 20206 0 17:18 ? 00:00:00 sshd: backup@notty backup 20256 20255 0 17:18 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/amanda/amandad -auth=ssh backup 20261 20256 0 17:18 ? 00:00:00 [amandad] <defunct> backup 20288 20256 0 17:18 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/amanda/sendsize amandad ssh backup 20289 20256 0 17:18 ? 00:00:00 [amandad] <defunct> backup 20290 20288 0 17:18 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/amanda/sendsize amandad ssh backup 20291 20288 0 17:18 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/amanda/sendsize amandad ssh backup 20292 20290 0 17:18 ? 00:00:00 calcsize DailySet1 GNUTAR / / 0 0 backup 20293 20291 0 17:18 ? 00:00:00 calcsize DailySet1 GNUTAR /opt /opt 0 0 -----Original Message----- From: owner-amanda-us...@amanda.org <owner-amanda-us...@amanda.org> On Behalf Of Kamil Jonca Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2019 1:05 PM To: amanda-users@amanda.org Subject: Re: amandad defunct on client calcsize/sendsize hung Robert Reilly <rrei...@edrnet.com> writes: > Hi, All I have setup Amanda, it works great for the Amanda server itself but > fails to backup any clients. > Server: > Ubuntu 18.04 > Amanda 3.5.1 ( ubuntu repo pkg ) Whats happening when you try to backup single client? i.e. amdump <config> clienthost? does it works?
