Permission Problem.
In Red hat 8 amanda 2.4.2p1 is already installed with Amanda user I have only problem with permission on the tape device. Amanda cannot dump with root login when I SU to Amanda and try amdump it gives me permission denied error after checking amcheck. Also with sudo it will not work because any thing with UID 0 its not configure. Regards,

Probably does not affect anything, but these setting mean no one except amanda (and of course root) can work in this directory or any directory below amanda's home dir.

Because its not a 200Gb drive? Because its not, I've been told its a
100 Gb drive. And if you have amanda compress, and then feed that to
the drives compressor, the data will often grow somewhat. As
probably did the data from /dev/urandom that amtapetype uses as a
data src.
In the real world, you will have some dirs that have archives in them,
and these will not further compress, so don't use either compression.
Then there are some of your dirs that will smunch to 10% of their
original size, and these you should use a dumptype that includes
'compress client best'. This can do far better than the hardware
compressor under my local conditions.
Here, by playing mix-n-match here at home, I have logged that amanda
has put over 11 Gb of data on a 4Gb DDS2 tape, and quite often
manages over 8Gb. No hardware compression involved.
Running the hardware compressor also hides the true size from amanda,
and you may have to reduce the tapetype size entry by 10-15% to keep
amanda from hitting EOT. Amanda counts bytes fed to the drive after
any compression amanda may have done and can then know to within a
couple of percent how much data the tape will hold.

I found out what the problem was.. after checking things in archives and other mailings, I noticed references to amandad and client, I checked my install again and i did not have the client installed!!! I installed the rpm file and the amcheck ran fine however, why did not amcheck complain about this to begin with!!! Anyway, I did a small backup to tape and now am having trouble restoring I am using tar and this is the restore command and it says it cannot find the file when I know it was there...

First, it appears the machine is the server, but you re-installed --without-server? Putting 2 and 2 together, one of them must be -2 cause its not adding up. :) I think my gray hairs have doubled since this issue started...:-)) It is a server, but not *the* backup server. All of our servers are installed from a script with the same configuration switches. And you didn't indicate if ~/.amandahosts was in use unless I missed a clue above. You may have to reconstruct that file as I don't think it would be in the backup if the perms were set (0400) as recommended. Yes we are using the .amandahosts file as noted above...there is an ls -al output included in the original email. Third, having a configuration script that you can copy to each new tarballs unpacked directory so that each new version is configured like the last one is a major bit of insurance. I posted mine again a few days ago, so check the archives for a copy of that for the server. We do all of our installs from a Jumpstart server. Then 2.4.2p2 is getting a bit long in the tooth. 2.4.4-p1-20030716 seems to be very stable, and/or Jean-Louis is on vacation and has not been around to release new snapshot tarballs. Get it from Jean-Louis's site at (IIRC) umontreal.edu.ca. Yes, the software is out of date, but I hesitate to change the version until I can test it on a *non* production system.

If it doesn't find it in 'slot current', it will roll through the entire changer looking for it. In your case, the tape in 'slot current' generated "I/O error". That is a really bad sign, probably threw errors in /var/adm/messages, and is the first thing you should look at. At best(?), it is a bad tape that needs to be discarded. At worst(?), there are cabling and/or configuration problems and you don't have a reliable R/W channel to your tape drives yet. Hmmm. I notice you say "1-30 are amanda labeled", perhaps chg-scsi is not clever enough to handle having 81 slots declared in chg-scsi.conf, but only 30 slots populated, and just blows up on empty slots?

My amcheck Host says: Amanda Tape Server Host Check - Holding disk /dump: 8972115 KB disk space available, that's plenty amcheck-server: slot 39: tape_rdlabel: tape open: /dev/rmt/1bn: I/O error amcheck-server: fatal slot 40: slot 40 move failed ERROR: new tape not found in rack (expecting a new tape) NOTE: skipping tape-writable test Server check took 37.245 seconds here's a snippet from my chg-scsi file (I know, I've been told to move to chg-mtx, but I'm not sure of it yet...) #: orginal example scsi.conf number_configs 3 eject 1 # Tapedrives need an eject command sleep 5 # Seconds to wait until the tape gets ready cleanmax15 # How many times could a cleaning tape get used changerdev /dev/scsi/changer/c1t0d0 # # first comes the data for drive 0 # config 0 drivenum0 dev /dev/rmt/0bn# tapedrive 1 (BSD type, no rewind, no compression) startuse1 # The slots associated with the drive 0 enduse 81 # statfile/usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/logs/tape0-slot # The file where the actual slot is stored cleancart 0 # the slot where the cleaningcartridge for drive 0 is located cleanfile /usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/logs/tape0-clean # The file where the cleanings are recorded usagecount /usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/logs/totaltime-drive0 # Next comes the data for drive 1 config 1 drivenum1 dev /dev/rmt/1bn# tapedrive 1 (BSD type, no rewind, no compression) startuse1 # The slots associated with the drive 0 enduse 81 # statfile/usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/logs/tape1-slot # The file where the actual slot is stored cleancart 0 # the slot where the cleaningcartridge for drive 1 is located cleanfile /usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/logs/tape1-clean # The file where the cleanings are recorded usagecount /usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/logs/totaltime-drive1 # Next comes the data for drive 2 config 2 drivenum2 dev /dev/rmt/2bn# tapedrive 2 (BSD type, no rewind, no compression) startuse1 # The slots associated with the drive 2 enduse 81 # statfile/usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/logs/tape2-slot # The file where the actual slot is stored cleancart 0 # the slot where the cleaningcartridge for drive 2 is located cleanfile /usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/logs/tape2-clean # The file where the cleanings are recorded usagecount /usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/logs/totaltime-drive2 and from amanda.conf: runtapes 2 # number of tapes to be used in a single run of amdump tpchanger "chg-scsi"# the tape-changer glue script #tpchanger "chg-zd-mtx" # the tape-changer glue script tapedev "1" # the no-rewind tape device to be used # note (mb) the 1 refers to config # 1 within scsi.conf changerfile "/usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/chg-scsi.conf"

tape requested
Hi Today I noticed something weired: amcheck/amdump requests one tape (according to the list in tapelist) while amflush requests a different one. Which brings up the question: how does amflush decide which tape it is supposed to flush backups to? Paolo

Bob,
amtapetype feeds uncompressible data so that you get an accurate
picture of what your tape drive will do when presented with default
Amanda output (default is 'compress client fast').
The 105GB you got is testament to the ability of your LTO drive to
sense uncompressible data and auto-bypass HW compression.
If you think about it for awhile, you'll realize that it makes no sense
to run amtapetype with compression on; there is no way that amtapetype
can predict the compressibility of your data today (or a year from
now).
When you choose HW compression, you're signing up to be your own
amtapetype, so to speak. You can totally ignore filemark, of course,
unless your disklist is literally 100's of entries long.
When I was bringing up my LTO drives (about a year ago), I did
several amdumps to disk (one for each DLE "type" I had) and did
fill the tape loops like this:
#!/bin/tcsh -f
set count=1
while (1)
echo transfer $count
time dd if=/a6/backup/spitfire._a1.20020718.0 of=/dev/rmt/1cn obs=32k || exit
@ count++
end
to find out how much compression I was really getting (my answer was
"average about 2.05X"). I set my length to rather less than that,
180GB. Just had a 175GB run this weekend:

Hardware Compression
I have a couple of Seagate Ultrium 100/200GB tape drives in a Sun/Quantum
ATL L25 tape library. When I try to run hardware compression
(/dev/rmt/0hbn) on them I still can only fit 100GB of data according to
Amanda. I ran amtapetype and got the following:
define tapetype ATL-LTO1 {
comment "Produced by amtapetype prog (hardware compression on)"
length 104980 mbytes
filemark 1047 kbytes
speed 8429 kps
}
Anyone have an idea as to why I can't get 200GB of backup data on a single tape?

RE: "strange output"
I ran
into this problem with Tru64 UNIX and the vdump command used by Amanda on that
platform. I added a line to the "re_table" structure in
client-src/sendbackup-dump.c to match the output of that command that was not
being matched by the existing entries. I am not aware of any ability to
add lines to the re_table structure other than by recompiling, so that may be
your only hope.
A line
like:
AM_NORMAL_RE("^ *SUDO:"),
added
to the file should do the trick. Of course, this will permit any line
containing SUDO to pass through as normal.

I have added a wrapper to

to stderr) is flagged by Amanda as "strange output", for
example...

Is there a way to tell Amanda that
these lines are expected? Even better would be to tell her that they are
required, but I know that's a bit much to ask, as it would have to be on a per
filesystem basis.
I plan to update my script to look
like this in an attempt to fool Amanda into thinking its legit output:
sudo -u ccadmin ~ccadmin/lockvobs
2>&1 | perl -n -e 'print "DUMP: $_";' >&2
so that every line will start with
"DUMP: "
but this feels like a hack.
Any comments?

upgrading a tape drive
I am about to upgrade my tape drive from DLT to SDLT on a dell poweredge 2600 running redhat 7.3. Besides changing my tapetype definition, is there anything else I should do? I am running build: VERSION="Amanda-2.4.3" BUILT_DATE="Fri Apr 4 10:37:17 EST 2003" BUILT_MACH="Linux lux1 2.4.18-18.7.xsmp #1 SMP Wed Nov 13 19:01:42 EST 2002 i686 unknown" CC="gcc" CONFIGURE_COMMAND="'./configure' '--with-user=amanda' '--with-group=disk'" Should I upgrade Amanda first? I remember some traffic regarding tapetype not analyzing SDLT drives correctly…was that ever resolved? I am also considering making a different machine my backup host. Is there a way to move my backup history from the old machine to the new machine so that the backup rotation can just continue? One problem with this plan is that I am very restricted on kernel revs on the possible new Amanda tape host (it is also a clearcase server). Am I better off having the flexibility to upgrade my kernel? Can anyone recommend a good kernel for redhat 7.3 (or should I go to 8.0??). ADV thanks ANCE for any input….

"strange output"
I have added a wrapper to /sbin/dump to lock and unlock my vobs. The output from my script (which I send to stderr) is flagged by Amanda as “strange output”, for example… FAILED AND STRANGE DUMP DETAILS: /-- lux2 sda5 lev 1 STRANGE sendbackup: start [lux2:sda5 level 1] sendbackup: info BACKUP=/sbin/dump sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/bin/gzip -dc |/sbin/restore -f... - sendbackup: info COMPRESS_SUFFIX=.gz sendbackup: info end ? SUDO: /vobs/admin ? SUDO: Locked versioned object base "/vobs/admin". ? SUDO: /vobs/client ? SUDO: Locked versioned object base "/vobs/client" Is there a way to tell Amanda that these lines are expected? Even better would be to tell her that they are required, but I know that’s a bit much to ask, as it would have to be on a per filesystem basis. I plan to update my script to look like this in an attempt to fool Amanda into thinking its legit output: sudo -u ccadmin ~ccadmin/lockvobs 2>&1 | perl -n -e 'print "DUMP: $_";' >&2 so that every line will start with “DUMP: “ but this feels like a hack. Any comments? JLM P.S.

Re: amdump/amcheck timeouts
I have experiencered this problem under Solaris.
It seemed to be an inetd problem.
I have found a workaround to enable amcheck all the same :
Under solaris client I "truss" the inetd daemon and I try other port than
amanda port (like ftp)
so I run "ftp solaris_client_name" and I look at the "truss -f -t fork,exec
-p client_inetd_pid" output
It was always (in my case) enough to let amcheck working again on this
client.
Hope it will help you...

The ping works fine from both sides. All other services on both computers
are up and running just fine.
Both computers are on same network, configured with same netmask and
broadcast address.
When I run amcheck and it fails, the server debug files show no error
messages.
The client debug files show the following error messages:
.
amandad: time 29.991: dgram_recv: timeout after 30 seconds
amandad: error receiving message: timeout
amandad: time 29.991: error receiving message: timeout
...
amandad: time 34.060: weird, it is not a proper ack
addr: peer xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa dup xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa, port: peer 888 dup 919
amandad: time 44.053: dgram_recv: timeout after 10 seconds
amandad: time 44.053: waiting for ack: timeout, retrying
amandad: time 54.053: dgram_recv: timeout after 10 seconds
amandad: time 54.053: waiting for ack: timeout, retrying
amandad: time 64.053: dgram_recv: timeout after 10 seconds
amandad: time 64.053: waiting for ack: timeout, giving up!
.
Anyone got a clue?
