What cause this error?
Hi!
I'm starting to get the same error more and more often, but I don't know
what is causing it?
When I run amcheck, I get this:
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-
Holding disk /var/tmp: 13484300 KB disk space available, that's plenty
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Server check took 1.396 seconds
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
Client check: 2 hosts checked in 0.756 seconds, 0 problems found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.2p2)
-
But when I run the actually backup I get this back:
These dumps were to tape daglig3.
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [[writing file: Input/output error]].
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: daglig1.

Well, this is missing one vital piece of info, but it looks as if you
taped one filesystem only, and it was close to 12Gb. Then it didn't
have room for the next one of 26Gb. How big is the tape in raw
capacity?

amrecover problem: need help/advice
Hello I have used amanda for a long time and have used the amrecover command to recover files/directories in the past without problems. Recently, I accidently deleted a large chunk of my home directory (you don't really want to know how this happened do you--long story). Normally, if something like this happens I do not panic because I know that I can recover most, if not all, of the files deleted. The AMANDA log files all indicate backups have been written normally. Indeed, I can verify that myt home directory and each individual file thereof is listed in the index files on the backup server. However, unlike in the past, when I issue the normal amrecover /dev/tape_norewind machine disk-device I get a scsi-related error message after if finds the file on the tape. It searches through the tape, finds the file, and only dumps part of the file. For example, if the file should be 4GB, it is only dumping about 500 Mb. It is as if a buffer is overflowing or something like that. I get no similar messages when creating the tape, only when trying to read off the tape. Any help appreciated. I am at a loss unless I have had a buggy tape drive for some time and not realized it. P.S. I have also taken the tape to a second compatible drive on an entirely different machine. This drive also could not read the tape. Not looking good... -- James D. Freels, Ph.D. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The Tapes says: 40/80GB And my tapedrive is a HP Surestore DAT40I (http://amanda.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/fom?_highlightWords=hp%20surestorefile=132) Where did you ever get the notion that it is 40/80 GB. There is no DAT/DDS format of those capacities. There is a DAT/DDS format, and the one reported in the above URL, of 20/40 GB. I.e. 20GB native capacity, approximately 40GB of compressed data.

That is a surprising number to me, 25GB, unless the second DLE was not being compressed by gzip. Another thing to note; you are not using your holding disk at all. Both DLE's were going direclty to tape. Evidence for this is 1) the identity between the dump stats and the taper stats (compare with above 2) the lack of dumper stats for the 2nd DLE. ...

I don't think thats what you wanted to hear though... Can you 'mt -f /device fsf nn' where nn is the number of the next file on the tape? This is one of the reasons one should have a tapecycle that is at *least* 2*runspercycle*runtapes. It would be somewhat dated, but better than nothing, to back up one dumpcycles worth of tapes in the sequence and recover that. -- Cheers, Gene AMD [EMAIL PROTECTED] 320M [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512M 99.26% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved.
