Add "#define PROTO_DEBUG 1" at the beginning of common-src/protocol.c
and recompile on client and server.

After an amcheck, check the amandad.*.debug files on client
and amcheck.*.debug on server.

xfsdump will do directory trees that are not whole filesystems, but
only full lev 0 dumps, no incrementals. But star doesn't do incrementals
either, at least not yet - it's taken a big step forward by supporting inode
metadata. I don't know how well it handles XFS ACL information.

Re: Apple pains... and smb problem, please help!!

2003-01-08 Thread Riccardo Parola
Followup: the commands suggested below didn't work for me, maybe I'm missing 
something but piping to 'cat -vet' returned the same with a $ at the end of 
each file but kept the ? in place of unrecognised/illegal characters. 

Vaccaro Jewelers$
Van Doren 02?09$
Vecchitto, Jim$
Velocity, Inc?$

piping to 'od' returns a bunch of numbers I have no Idea what to make of (I 
guess a little over my head).

The dot at the end of the file does seem to be a problem, see Velocity, Inc. 
above (as far as I can see it is a true dot, just the '.' on the mac 
keyboard... the same dot I would use in file.txt-which would work fine.))

I know... what are my users thinking, naming files like that...

For the slashes in the filenames I wrote dropplets and run them on a mac to 
replace '/' with '_', pain, it's taking forever to clean the 60GB worth of 
dirs but I think that will do.

As for amanda's reaction to it, it's a "STRANGE":

"FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
  localhost  //LEELOO/Typesetting lev 0 FAILED [disk //LEELOO/Typesetting 
offline on localhost?]
  localhost  //LEELOO/Public lev 0 STRANGE"

Reason for the "strange":

"? NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND opening remote file \Brenda\Icon_ 
(\Brenda\)
? NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND opening remote file \Brenda\St. Augustine HL 
Cat. Pg 8_.sea (\Brenda\)
? NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND opening remote file \Cindy\Al Winter BC 
11_02.pdf (\Cindy\)"

The list is miles long...

Funny thing, the strange chars are replaced with '_' by amanda in the email 
report.
Even if i didn't care about backing apple ICON files and files that aren't 
named right I would still have a problem as Amanda will try to do a FULL 
backup again the next day, I guess since there was a problem with this one it 
won't switch to incremental.

As you see above, the other problem I'm having is one of the shares (on 
windows machine) is that it appears "disconnected" to amanda.
I do have the right entry in /etc/amandapass, if I try to 
'smbmount //LEELOO/Typesetting /mnt/Typesetting user=backup'
it asks for backup's password and mounts it fine. (backup is a user on the win 
machine with admin power)

I'm getting stomped and tired of trying, did anyone face these issues? Am I 
the only one with mac computers on the network dumping garbage files and 
users that don't know any better than naming files this way? Any pointers 
would really be appreciated.

Any commercial software that would solve the problem?

TIA
Rick

dumpcycle - amanda with a mind of its own

2003-01-08 Thread Marvin Davenport
I am using disk storage with 14 "tapes", amanda keeps filling up the
disk by doing t many full dumps, I have set what I thought would be
a 2 week full dump schedule, but you can see on disk listed I am
getting a full dump every 3 days?

Must be run on a mac  (where the cpu can still read the names).
We use it for moving files to a Windows server,  but the description

Solaris 8, mtx 1.2.11, amanda 2.4.2p2, Sun StorgEdge 9, LTO

2003-01-08 Thread Brian Cuttler

Amanda_users,
mtx_general,

With great assistance (thanks Darin Perusich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)
I have installed amanda 2.4.2p2 on Solaris 8 using changer chg-zd-mtx
and mtx 1.2.11.

Our tape drive is at /dev/rmt/0cn and our changer (following
modification of /kernel/drv/sgen.conf) is at /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d0.
We have a StorEdge 9 slot Jukebox, apparently with HP C7145 guts.
The tape drive itself is an "LTO".

For the most part things are working well, we are able to run
amcheck, amdump and amtape - though there are some difficulties.

I can use /usr/lib/libexec/chg-dz-mtx to advance to the next
tape in the jukebox or to return to the first tape.

MTX itself seems to be working ok.

# /usr/local/sbin/mtx -f /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d0 inquiry
Product Type: Medium Changer
Vendor ID: 'HP  '
Product ID: 'C7145   '
Revision: '233S'
Attached Changer: No

However there are a couple of things that are not working correctly.

1) I can not use amtape to label the tape in a specific slot,
however I can label the tape in the "current" slot" using amlabel.

> /usr/local/sbin/amtape ninfo slot 2
amtape: could not load slot 0: illegal request

2) I can not use chg-dz-mtx to load a specific tape, this is probably
   a causal factor for problem 1 above.

> /usr/local/libexec/chg-zd-mtx -slot 2
0 illegal request

3) I can advance to "slot next", or "reset" to the first slot without error.

4) The amtape "update" command builds a list of internal/amanda tape
   labels and bar-code labels ? This is only leaving a single entry
   in the file changer-status-barcodes, I'd thought it would build a
   listing so that the scanner could determine which tapes where present
   without having to load/unload them. I could be wrong but I don't
   understand the purpose of this file otherwise.

5) Disturbingly when I use the amtape command "show" it will show me
   that I have different empty slot if I'm positioned at a different
   "current" tape. Is the "current" tape no longer considered to be
   in the carossel ?

6) Do I need "rawtapedev" ? What does it do ?

>From amanda.conf

runtapes 1  # number of tapes to be used in a single run of amdump
tpchanger "chg-zd-mtx"
tapedev "/dev/rmt/0cn"  # the no-rewind tape device to be used
rawtapedev "/dev/null"  # the raw device to be used (ftape only)
changerfile "/usr/local/etc/amanda/ninfo/chg-zd-mtx"
changerdev "/dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d0"


> cat chg-zd-mtx.conf
firstslot=1
lastslot=9
cleanslot=3
AUTOCLEAN=0
autocleancount=99
havereader=1
offlinestatus=0
OFFLINE_BEFORE_UNLOAD=0

I assume I've misconfigured something but have been unable to put
my finger on it.

thanks for your help,

Brian

The above combines to mean that you will be, if amanda works as you 
would like it to, be overwriting your only full backup with a new 
recording.  It could be bad, and then you are out of luck as you've 
just overwritten the only copy you had.

If you only have 14 tapes, and acquiring more isn't an instant 
option, then I would reduce the dumpcycle and runspercycle to maybe 
7 each, which would allow access to one older generation of backup 
in the event the most recent is foobar.  Maybe I'm paranoid, but I 
have the tape capacity to do it, so dumpcycle and runspercycle are 
5 here, with a tapecycle of 28 tapes on the wall.

This might also be an effect of amandas useage balancing scheduler, 
looking for enough data to be worth the effort of fireing up the 
drive.  One of the reasons I have a 5 day cycle is that this uses 
somewhere between 2/3rds and 4/5ths of a tape per run, on a 4 gig 
tape (dds2) using software compression.  But thats my personal 
preference of course.  Your list below doesn't indicate how big the 
level 0's are, or how big your tapes are, making it difficult to 
advise in more concrete terms.

Just in case, try firstslot=0, lastslot=8.

BTW device "0cn" is a hardware compression turned on device.
If that is what you want fine.  Make sure you do not also
use software compression in your dumptypes.

Re: 2.4.3 amandad time outs PLEASE HELP!

2003-01-08 Thread tammy
Hi

Thanks so much! With your help turning on debugging, I was able to find 
that clients couldn't respond to the server. This didn't show up in any 
logs anywhere, only gleaned this from the detailed amanda logging:( 
This led me back to rereading the troubleshooting page 
(http://amanda.sourceforge.net/fom-serve/cache/16.html)... the very 
last item on this page was the answer:

Keep in mind also that amanda uses random ports < 1024 on the server 
when servicing remote clients.
For instance on Red Hat 7.1 I needed a line like this one in 
/etc/sysconfig/ipchains:
-A input -s {client IP address}/32 -d 0/0 0:1024 -p udp -j ACCEPT
or prepend 'ipchains ' to the above for a command line version.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Shouldn't ipchains write something to some log somewhere on denying 
requests? :(

Hi

I have installed amanda 2.4.3 client on a Mac OS X box and have the
same issue described below (in a post I made yesterday). amandad on 
the
client waits for an ACK and receives a REQ instead. This happens twice
and then the client amandad times out and exits while waiting for the
ACK.

I had amanda 2.4.2p2 previously working on both redhat linux (7.2
kernel 2.4.7-10) and this Mac OS X (10.2.2) box before the upgrade to
2.4.3. We also changed all our ip's on our network but I can't see
where that is affecting amanda since the fresh install of 2.4.3.

Check it again.


Another interesting note is that the backup runs successfully on the
amanda server (redhat linux 7.3 kernel 2.4.19 with ac4 patch) when it
is backed up (as a client). But our other 2 clients timeout waiting 
for
ACKS they do not receive:(

I have gone through all the obvious troubleshooting mentioned in
http://amanda.sourceforge.net/fom-serve/cache/16.html and searched the
archives to no avail.

Anyone have any idea what is going wrong here?! PLEASE HELP!
Is there some way to turn up the level of debugging amanda does to 
it's
log files? Anything please!

Add "#define PROTO_DEBUG 1" at the beginning of common-src/protocol.c
and recompile on client and server.

After an amcheck, check the amandad.*.debug files on client
and amcheck.*.debug on server.

There may be an option to turn it on someplace, but I have no first 
hand knowledge as I run the newer iptables.  Its also similarly 
silent on mmy machine, with the only denials being logged actually 
coming from portsentry-1.1 which automaticly writes, and applies 
the iptables rules when it detects an attack. Same for 
tcp_wrappers, portsentry can handle both.  And the hackers have 
been busy this week, my gateway has rejected 43 attempts since the 
log-rotation Sunday morning, this on a demand-dialup lashup. My 
/etc/hosts.deny looks a bit like the LA phone book, but its had 
neary 5 years to accumulate :-)

You may want to see if there is a 'security' log in /var/log just in 
case its bypassing the syslog daemon.

short write?

2003-01-08 Thread jordivi
Hi

What means "short write?", I got this error whit one of my disks 
(/backup/d26 below) and the rest of dumps failed with an "out of tape"
even only 34% are used. Maybe an hw error?, tape cleaning needed?
(NOTE, I only allow full backups, levels 1 are forced to skip)


*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [[writing file: short write]].
Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk.
Run amflush to flush them to tape.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: WTRANSNET-001.
