Re: Anyone with experience using a Sun Storedge L9 DLT array with Amanda?
Quoting Craig Dewick ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Ok, thanks for this tip. I'm going to try and secure the L9 array since it's virtually new and a perfect small backup solution. How are you using it with Amanda btw? Do you use 'chg-scsi', or are you controlling it with the 'mtx' utility using 'chg-zd-mtx' or similar? Hi... I have an L9 running on an E220R, using mtx-1.2.11 to control the robotics. (I assume later versions would work too.. I just haven't had reason to upgrade.. :) ) As for the changer script... the two mtx-based changer scripts that come with amanda 2.4.2p2 had some issues, but that went away when I grabbed a different (better?) script from http://www.killfile.org/~tskirvin/software/mtx-changer/mtx-changer-1.1 Hope this helps...

Re: divided backup (breaking up is hard to do?)
No answers back, but I think I've stumbled on the solution and post it
here for the next poor soul who makes the same mistake. Noticed from
another recent post that clients can generate a sendsize.*.debug. Looked
for this on my client that failed to estimate, and found that the
automatically generated 'arguments' line specified the --exclude-from
option and that the estimate failed with message that this option's
argument was a directory. Sure enough, --exclude-from needs the name of a
file that specifies other files for exclusion; what I gave it (via
exclude list in my disklist entry) was the top directory of the subtree
to be omitted. I'm pretty sure that the fix is to use exclude instead of
exclude list (which I had hastily cribbed from one of the examples that
shipped in disklist). I'll make this change for tonight, and will post
again only if it fails and I need more ideas.
The side question I posed wrt successful recovery of gnutar'd stuff only
on the original host is still open. I suspect there are clues in the
arrangement of the gnutar-lists, but the answer is not clear to me yet.

I have a partition on one client that exceeds a tape (as I realized after

of the partition subparts ran last night. It appeared that one of the
subparts taped ok. The other two (those with 'exclude' set) were flagged
as No Estimate in the amstatus output during amdump's run, and failed.
Here are the disklist entries:

[As a side question, the test recovery worked for putting the data back
onto optimas3, but it failed when I tried putting the data on another

I suspect the problem is due to a mismatch between relative vs absolute

Dump configuration on amanda
Hi, I have errors using dump and apparently, it' because I'm doing a dump on an active filesystem. I would like to know if there is a way to configure amanda to execute dump -I ?? Thanks in advance Meryem
amrecover reserved port and stream_client.diff patch file
I have compiled amanda 2.4.2p2 with the --with-port-range option and am getting the amrecover: did not get a reserved port message. Amanda has been backing up fine as far as I can tell, but I wanted to test the restore capabilities before I actually needed them and found that I have this problem. So I searched the yahoo groups archive for amanda-users and found a patch located at www.amanda.org/patches.html (real location of patch file is http://www.amanda.org/patches/2.4.2p2/stream_client.diff) and tried to apply it, but it appears the patch was generated against a different version of common-src/stream.c than what I have downloaded with the 2.4.2p2 tar file release. Here is what I see when applying the patch: # patch -p0 stream_client.diff patching file common-src/stream.c Hunk #1 succeeded at 145 (offset 2 lines). Hunk #2 succeeded at 159 with fuzz 1 (offset 3 lines). Hunk #3 succeeded at 180 (offset 3 lines). Hunk #4 succeeded at 198 (offset 3 lines). Hunk #5 succeeded at 213 (offset 3 lines).

If so, how do I patch my 1.10.2.7 to be 1.10.2.8 before I apply the stream_client.diff patch? Thanks for any help, Jason Upton [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: amrecover: can't recover some files
I've seen similar error msg (short block, can't read header) on first attempt to recover from tapes just-written and left in my Exabyte 8900 tape drive. Problem disappeared after a) I explicitly rewound the tape and/or (I'm not sure which) b) the tape automatically rewound after the first amrecover error. I assume (since the taping device must be specified non-rewinding) that amrecover hiccuped because it didn't automatically rewind before trying to read, and so started off at EOT. I hope that's the correct explanation... Robert L.
