amdump: [dump to tape failed, will try again] - amrestore borking
Hello again, Still testing amanda for use in a production environment; tapeless operation seems to be working nicely, except for amdump sometimes. Backing up a directory /d on host mobilkom to the backup server backup. Every second run seems to go through smoothly, but for the others the mailreport afterwards tells me the following: NOTES: driver: mobilkom md0 3 [dump to tape failed, will try again] driver: mobilkom md0 3 [dump to tape failed, will try again] taper: tape normal02 kb 17184 fm 3 [OK] /dev/md0 is an array mounted on /d on mobilkom. When trying to use amrestore on such a `tape' (file:/dump/normal02 for example) I get an error like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# amrestore -p file:/dump/normal02 mobilkom md0 | restore -ivb 2 -f - amrestore: WARNING: not at start of tape, file numbers will be offset amrestore: 0: reached end of information Verify tape and initialize maps Input is from file/pipe restore: Tape read error on first record Or, with `-f 1' for `rewinding': [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# amrestore -f 1 -p file:/dump/normal02 mobilkom md0 | restore -ivb 2 -f - amrestore: 1: reached end of information Verify tape and initialize maps Input is from file/pipe restore: Tape read error on first record So it seems to me that the backups on such tapes are lost. When the mailreport does not indicate any errors such as the above NOTES, amrestore works nicely and I can recover each and every file on that tape. Anyone have an idea? The logs (amdump.*, log.date.*) don't give much more information apart from telling me that the `dump to drive failed' and it `will try again'. Not of much help. Any pointers where I should have a look? Thanks in advance! -- Andreas ant Ntaflos | A cynic is a man who knows the price of [EMAIL PROTECTED] | everything, and the value of nothing.

Re: amanda inparallel not working on large filesystems
Hello,
I have left this alone for a month now hoping all the various suggestions I
received might help. Nothing did.
Over the previous month, I have moved the backup onto seperate network
cards, seperate networks, specifed spindles, increased the holding disc
space, reduced the holding disc space, increased max dumps etc, reduced max
dumps etc.
Nothing appears to work. From my observations, the gtar on the remote
machine is using listed_incremental even though I am specifying no
incrementals to be performed. I don;t know if this is important or not, but
if I run the command by hand it takes forever to run, if I omit the
list-incremental option on the command line. gtar flies through. Note that
this may be a totally seperate issue to the problem I am facing.
The backups still operate synchronously, they both start roughly the same
time, but then one waits for the other to finish before it wakes up and
continues it's backup (this can mean it lays dormant for about six hours).
Help!

When using samba to backup a Windows share, the specification GNUTAR does in fact not use gnutar, but the built in tar in smbclient. And that one does not allow more than one exclude statement. Not quite accurate. smbclient (smbtar) uses the X option to set a mode after which subsequent arguments are excluded. The problem is then to capture the smbclient command line, including the exclude-file filename argument, and convert each line into separate arguments. This had been done by one poster in the past. Essentially an smbclient wrapper. Unfortunately, in my testing this can not be combined with the r option of smbclient to allow wildcards. Maybe others can figure that one out too. -- Jon H.

However, I did note an oddity in the part of the code that reads the config file. Where is detects havebarcode, it uses the value, 0 or 1, that follows the configuration parameter. This is as expected. When emubarcode is detected it is treated differently. It is treated as a boolean and the value that follows is ignored. I.e. if emubarcode is in chg-scsi.conf, THEN it is set to 1 regardless of the value. I suggest you try eliminating the emubarcode entirely from your chg-scsi.conf file (still setting havebarcode 1) and see if that works. It should pick-up the hardcoded emubarcode default of 0. If that works, we can claim to the maintainers of the code that it is a defect in the documentation or the source code. -- Jon H.

I'd suggest something is faulty with your setup,
likely outside of amanda.
The tapetype program should make two complete passes at
nearly the full speed of your drive. It just dumps data
as fast as it can to the tape drive. If you see anything
significantly slower I'd be suspcious of the setup.
160GB / (16MB/sec) is 1 seconds.
Times 2 passes is 2 seconds.
At 3600 sec/hr, that should take about 6 hours.
That drive has a rated speed of 16MB/sec.
You observed only 2.4MB/sec.
Your capacity and filemark numbers seem reasonable.
But I'd look into why so slow. Block size settings
on the drive? Scsi termination? Bus contention?
Wide scsi interface on a narrow bus? ???

amrecover index Problem
Hi I have some problems regarding amrecover. I have enable amanda,amidex and amandaidx and have put the line amanda dgram udp wait Amanda /PATH/libexec/amandad amandad in/etc/xinetd.d ,however I get the following errors after I get into amrecover. 501 no index records for the host. But I get the amrecover prompt. When I try to setdisk, it says '501 must setconfig,home before setting disk'. I dont know what exactly this means. I would appreciate if anyone can help me out.

Re: HELLO, I have trouble with chg-scsi: wrong emubarcode number
I commented "emubarcode 1" in the chg-scsi.conf file and now I don't get that error anymore. Thank you very much, Jon.

Whenever I execute "chg-scsi -inventory", I get back the following response:BarCode == 1 and emubarcode == 1 This is saying you are claiming to have a barcode reader andasking chg-scsi to emulate one also. Only one or the othercan be set to 1. Our tape-changer is equipped with a bar code reader. I have set "havebarcode 1", "emubarcode 0" in the chg-scsi.conf file. But chg-scsi doesn't seem to pickup this information. When I ran "strings -a /usr/local/etc/libexec/chg-scsi | grep emubarcode", I got the following output:emubarcodeemubarcode 1 # If you drive has no barcode reader this will tryBarCode == 1 and emubarcode == 1emubarcodeSo it seems that emubarcode is hardcoded as 1 in the binary file. Is there any way to fix this or force chg-scsi to read the value for emubarcode from the chg-scsi.conf file? There is nothing in that grep output to suggest emubarcode ishardcoded as 1; == is a test, not an assignment. When I run "chg-scsi -genconf", I get the following information: ... emubarcode 1 # If you drive has no barcode reader this will try# keep an inventory of your tapes to find them faster#havebarcode 0 # Set this to 1 if you have an library with an I peeked at the chg-scsi.c source code. emubarcode is initialized to 0.However, I did note an oddity in the part of the code that reads theconfig file. Where is detects "havebarcode", it uses the value,0 or 1, that follows the configuration parameter. This is as expected.When "emubarcode" is detected it is treated differently. It is treatedas a boolean and the value that follows is ignored. I.e. if "emubarcode"is in chg-scsi.conf, THEN it is set to 1 regardless of the value.I suggest you try eliminating the emubarcode entirely from yourchg-scsi.conf file (still setting "havebarcode 1") and see if thatworks. It should pick-up the hardcoded emubarcode default of 0.If that works, we can claim to the maintainers of the code that itis a defect in the documentation or the source code.
Linux disks and disklist file
Hello, we recently added some Linux servers to our mix of *BSD servers. The server is running FreeBSD 4.7p10 with amanda 2.4.4 (from /usr/ports, looks like it's the base release, i.e. not the latest) and the clients are running RedHat Linux 7.3 with amanda-client-2.4.2p2-7. When running amcheck, it complains that it can't find just one of the disks, yet all are defined the same (i.e. sd1a, sd3a, etc). Here's the error : Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check ERROR: hostname: [could not access sda3 (sda3): No such file or directory] If I change the disk name on sd3a to include the full path, everything is fine : host sda1 comp-root-index host /dev/sda3 comp-root-index host sdb1 comp-user-index host md0 comp-user-index I don't see anything special about sd3a to cause this : [EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# df Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 14927248 1122460 13046520 8% / /dev/sda1 497829 17867454260 4% /boot /dev/sdb1 17496684136304 16471588 1% /var /dev/md0 34993280 47604 33168096 1% /home none515632 0515632 0% /dev/shm All other disks work fine without the full path, dumps worked fine last night with the above config.

At the amrecover prompt, try the following: sethost host where 'host' is the name of the host whose data you are trying to restore, exactly like it is in the disklist. Then, setdisk diskname where 'diskname' is the name of the filesystem as it appears in your disklist file. Then see if you can 'cd' and 'ls' and see your files. If so, then you can 'add' what you want to restore and after you're finished adding things you give the 'extract' command to restore.

man amrecover? Also, if you are using localhost anyplace instead of
a FQDN, I think you just got bit. It works for backups (I wish it
didn't, more people would get the message before its too late) but
does not work very often for recovery's.
