I would expect another errormessage here:
"No index records for host: %s. Have you enabled indexing?"
Is the above really the complete errormessage?

You see above that "index yes" is commented out.
Remove the comments or add "index yes" to the always-full
dumptype.
You could have found this, by executing the command:
amadmin normal disklist localhost | grep index
(I believe this command does not exist in versions older
than amanda 2.4.2 .)
In disklist you call your host "localhost" so you should call
it "localhost" everywhere. (And that's just the reason to avoid
"localhost", because "localhost" on another host points to a different
computer - confusion garuanteed!)

Re: cygwin + amanda install
I've successfully installed cygwin with Amanda for backing up Windows machines... but I've a big problem. After the first installation that actually works perfectly, other subsequent installations on other PCs are not generating indexes. I had no time in the past days to investigate the problem thus I've made by best to replicate subsequent installations like the first one. If you dig in the mailing list archives you can find details of this problem (reported by me) that has not been answered by anyone. Essentially on the server side it writes an index file of zero bytes: in the logs present in the client and server there is no evidence of a "problem" while generating indexes or other types of problems.

My fuzzy memory says it involved indexing, particularly a broken pipe in the part of the connection involving indexing.

Re: building 2.4.4p1 under Solaris 9 with native-built gcc-3.3
Hi everyone, Further to the problems I've been experiencing with trying to build the amanda-2.4.4p1 package, I now have gcc-3.3 building perfectly using the sunfreeware.com gcc-3.3 package as the basis to build natively from source.

Jon, Stefano, Thanks. I looked through your messages in setting this up. If I had to give up the indexes I could probably live with it and just restore entire file systems to pull out the ones I need for now. From your suggestions I set this up to use server side compression but it doesn't appear to be working and it looks to me as if the process just stops at some point. I think this is the server giving up as if it were a data timeout but it's not far enough out to be hitting the dtimeout parameter. I'm not sure where to go next. If I find something that solves the problem I'll pass it along. -Matt
why is tar(1) being passed "--directory //windows/share"?
I'm trying to set up amanda to back up a Windows (XP) machine. I've got all the permissions set up on the remote machine, but when I try to run amdump, I get some very confusing errors.

On Wed, 30 Jul 2003, Martin Hepworth wrote: > what's the LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to? does it include the location of > libgcc_s.so? I don't use LD_LIBRARY_PATH and have no need to do so. That's what the purpose of the -R linker flag is - to hard-code the library search path that the executable file will use at *runtime*. The -L flag tells the linker where to search at *compile* time, but this doesn't replace whatever is supplied with the -R flag. It's a good question that you raised though since with Solaris and most other Unixes, using LD_LIBRARY_PATH is a serious enough security issue that it's used very little anymore, and many people prefer to use the -L/-R combination in the LDFLAGS setting. My default -R flag setting is /usr/sfw/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/local/lib so at run-time, the program will check through these three directories for each shared library it needs to find. I have /usr/local/lib last since Sun now supplies a lot of pre-compiled 3rd-party software packages configured to install into the /usr/sfw path. I don't have any Sun-supplied GCC installations, and the default paths for gcc files are all under /usr/local, so the genversion binary should be detecting libgcc_s in /usr/local/lib and using it. Either something is wrong with libgcc_s and the run-time wrapper rejects the shared library as being invalid, or something is wrong with the way the run-time wrapper is built when genversion is compiled that means it doesn't search /usr/local/lib to see if it can find libgcc_s there. At least they're my two current theories. Craig. -- Email by Craig Dewick (tm). Home page at "lios.apana.org.au/~cdewick". "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" or "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".

Re: why is tar(1) being passed "--directory //windows/share"?
Duh. Somehow when I rebuilt amanda, the samba support got turned off. Because the configure script tested smbclient with \\machine\share as an argument. I got it turned on and everything appears to be working. Sorry for the false alarm. (Although that backslashing really should go away. smbclient has supported forward slashes forever.) Thanks!

I install the rpm files for redhat 7.1 but I am having trouble trying to get the changer config file to work properly. It looks like it will not perform any unload or cycle through tape elemements. I can label new tapes. ALso, do I have to configure the network files if I only want to do local backups? The amdump complains of planner "request to local host timed out". I also want to know if I have the latest rpm file for redhat7.1 amanda-2.4.2p2-1 amanda-server-2.4.2p2-1. ALso, with this version can I backup a large filesystem? I have a resier volume with 60 gig. Of course I can only use tar. Thanks!

Note that > this may be a totally seperate issue to the problem I am facing. Or this might be it. If listed-incremental is as slow as people claim it to be, and you're running three of them at once, that could be the problem. If those file systems have zillions of tiny files (as opposed to a few large ones), that'd make the problem worse -- more work for the listed-incremental processing to do, perhaps its data structures within gtar don't scale to the level you need, etc., etc. In short, I suspect that your Amanda configuration is doing what it should, and that you should focus your attention on the client machine. -- | | /\ |-_|/ > Eric Siegerman, Toronto, Ont.[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | / When I came back around from the dark side, there in front of me would be the landing area where the crew was, and the Earth, all in the view of my window.

Any pointers where I should > have a look? Look in the debug files (in /tmp/amanda by default, but you might have configured it otherwise). There are a bunch of them, on both server and client, and I can never keep them all straight. But one of them might contain a clue. -- | | /\ |-_|/ > Eric Siegerman, Toronto, Ont.[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | / When I came back around from the dark side, there in front of me would be the landing area where the crew was, and the Earth, all in the view of my window.

Re: building 2.4.4p1 under Solaris 9 with native-built gcc-3.3 (fwd)
Further to this issue, I have now tried, for the sake of experimentation (after a few people have contacted me privately suggesting it), setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I set it just to have /usr/local/lib in the variable. Strangely, the whole Amanda 2.4.4p1 source tree build without a hitch, and 'genversion' has no problem locating 'libgcc_s'. A run of 'ldd' over the binary shows it finds libgcc_s in /usr/local/lib as it's meant to do via the run-time lib search path which is supposed to be compiled in by the linker. As soon as I unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH, 'genversion' fails to find libgcc_s again. What does this indicate? Is there something wrong with the Amanda makefiles which cause the LDFLAGS setting to be ignored? I'll see if I can find out more today. I'm puzzled why actually setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH works since it's not required and the build process should work properly without it when a run-time lib search path is compiled in.

configure fails even with-group specified
Hi all, I'm a little confused as to why configure fails. Here's what I'm using when I run configure... ./configure --with-user=vilbu\ --with-group=vilbu\ --with-configdir=/etc/amanda\ --with-config=daily\ --with-gnutar=/bin/tar\ --with-tapedevice=/dev/nst0\ --with-amandahosts\ --with-smbclient=/usr/bin/smbclient ...but the response I get is this... checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/ginstall -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes configure: error: *** --with-group=GROUP is missing ...the user 'vilbu' is a member of three groups: 'disk', 'users', and 'vilbu', while it's primary group is 'vilbu'; and the group most certainly exists. Anyone have any thoughts as to why configure fails in this case? Thanks, Stefan
RE: configure fails even with-group specified
Maybe because there are no spaces between the settings, so they don't parse? Try this: ./configure --with-user=vilbu\ --with-group=vilbu\ --with-configdir=/etc/amanda\ --with-config=daily\ --with-gnutar=/bin/tar\ --with-tapedevice=/dev/nst0\ --with-amandahosts\ --with-smbclient=/usr/bin/smbclient ^ note leading spaces... > -Original Message- > From: S.

I set it > just to have /usr/local/lib in the variable. As I understand things. The LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is used at run time as an additional search path for loadable modules (.so files). If you have it set while compiling, it will search that path for loadable modules but will not include it in the compiled in path to search for them. Using the -R (or -L) flag with the compiler adds the path to the search list built into the binary at build time. Also, have a look at the crle command. It lets you change the default search path for shared libraries at a system level (instead of having to always set LD_LIBRARY_PATH). -- Ean Kingston <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
