[Fwd: TAKE 820267 - enable xfsrestore to run on non-xfs filesystem]
Original Message Subject: TAKE 820267 - enable xfsrestore to run on non-xfs filesystem Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2001 13:59:49 +1000 (EST) From: Ivan Rayner [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This removes the restriction that xfsrestore -t must be run on an xfs filesystem (which seemed to adversely affect amanda users). It also removes the (harmless) space pre-allocation warnings if restore is writing to a non-xfs filesystem.

Problems with amrecover
Hi I'm stuck! - I've tried to get amrecover to work. There's no problem in selecting host, disk and files to recover, but when I try to do the actual recover I get the following error: amrecover extract Extracting files using tape drive /dev/nst1 on host devel.

define tapetype SuperDLT1 {

Problem with stopped backup
I seem to have a backup that is stopped, but I don't know how to read the status report on it. I have included it below. This backup started last night after midnight and seems to be still going. However, the 40.96% dumped number has stayed the same for over an hour now. Can someone help me decipher this status report. Also, if it is indeed stopped, why did it stop and how do I kill it?

Re: changer problem
I was having problems similar to this (though I can't remember the specific error messages). I'm using chg-zd-mtx on Solaris 8 with an Overland LoaderXpress (DLT). What solved the problem for me was making sure that the changer config file has _all_ of the variables specified, even if they seemed to be default values. The chg-zd-mtx script doesn't seem to set default values, and gives weird errors if they're not there. --rowan Lo, Donnie Emeson and the coffee pot sang in unison: I'm having trouble with amanda 2.4.2p2 and a new changer, a Sun L20 with 20 slots and one DLT8000. This changer has a barcode reader, but I'm not using it. (I don't have a label maker and don't really want to bother.) Perhaps this is what's causing my problems... I have chg-zd-mtx working, though I had to make some minor changes. The problem is amlabel and amcheck. Both get similar errors. Amlabel goes ahead and loads the first tape and then gives me: amlabel: could not load slot current: badly formed result from changer: MT=/usr/bin/mt Amcheck is fine except for this error: amcheck-server: could not get changer info: badly formed result from changer: MT=/usr/bin/mt [snip] -- John Rowan Littell Systems Administrator Earlham College Computing Services PGP signature

Amanda 2.4.2p2, Solaris 8, amandad hangup
Hello, I am trying to run amanda 2.4.2p2 on Solaris 8 and am receiving the following in /var/adm/messages Oct 18 09:22:28 c110 inetd[186]: [ID 858011 daemon.warning] /usr/local/libexec/amandad: Hangup Unlike the messages from May (30029 and related) I am not seeing a secondary message amanda/udp server failing (looping), service terminated and I have checked with our security manager, we are not running BSM security modules on this system. I should also tell you that we are runing the amanda server on Solaris 7 as bin and installing the amanda client on Solaris 8 built for user amanda. We seem to be finding/triggering amanda services from inetd correctly or we'd have different messages in /var/adm/messages... There is no output, no creation of /tmp/amanda/ Using the run-amanda wrapper as suggested by Dan Lorenzini to run amanda as root in inetd.conf but as local user via the wrapper's su command produces the same result, .../amandad: Hangup Come to think of it I should also state that the amanda server is 2.4.1p1.

Still trying to get gzip/gpg
Hello, I am still trying to get gzip/gpg working. I did not receive any replies from my last two mails, so let me try again not so broad. If someone might be able to answer this, that would be awesome: As I understand the process the data should be written to tape with gzip, not dump. But what is weird is that it appears that amanda is attempting to backup the data with dump, but restore it with gzip. sendbackup: start [localhost:sda1 level 0] sendbackup: info BACKUP=/sbin/dump sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/var/backups/bin/gzip -dc |/sbin/restore -f... - sendbackup: info COMPRESS_SUFFIX=.gz sendbackup: info end Why is the BACKUP command /sbin/dump, and the RECOVER_CMD gzip? How can I change this? BTW, When I get this all figured out I will write a doc covering exactly how to do this. TIA. Andrew

Re: tapecycle off by 1?
I've been waiting to reach the 135th tape. For weeks and weeks now, I see The next 6 tapes Amanda expects to used are: a new tape, a new tape, a new tape, a new tape, a new tape, a new tape. I've been waiting for it to say it expects tape #1 again. Today was suppose to be the big day. But here's what the report said: These dumps were to tapes love129, love130, love131. The next 6 tapes Amanda expects to used are: a new tape, love132, love133, love134, love1, love2. My question is how come it's not expecting love135, after all that's what I have specified in amanda.conf. Kinda looks like a x-1 error. But I'm sure I'm just missing something, and hoping the list can help me... Probably you missed (skipped) a tape someday. Check your tapelist if every tape love1-love131 was used.
Re: Quantum SuperDLT1 tapetype
Remember that storage vendors usually redefine meg/gig to be 1000/100 instead of the traditional multiples of 1024. Taking that into account, 96868 real-world meg would be 101573 storage-vendor meg.
