Can't open exclude file ???
This does *not* appear to be Gene's problem of several days ago.
Yesterday, I reconfigured some disk, and reconfigured amanda to work
with the disk changes.
For nearly one year, I have used the following as a top level dumptype,
from which all others inherit:
define dumptype global {
comment dat tapedrive, gnu tar
compress none
exclude list optional .amanda.excludes
holdingdisk yes
index yes
priority medium
program GNUTAR
record yes
}
Notice the `exclude list optional' line.
So, last night, I added the second line to the following:
bragi.private.network / server-compress
bragi.private.network /home/mds/mail important-fast-compress
bragi.private.network /home/mds/tmp medium-fast-compress
bragi.private.network /usr important-fast-compress
Now, since this addition, I get this:
# sudo -u backup amcheck DailySet1 -cltw
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-
Holding disk /space: 3704388 KB disk space available, using 3704388 KB
Tape backup.015 is writable
Tape backup.015 label ok
Server check took 39.313 seconds
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
ERROR: bragi.private.network: [Can't open exclude file
'/usr/local/home/mds/mail/.amanda.excludes': Permission denied]
Client check: 2 hosts checked in 7.134 seconds, 1 problem found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.4p1)
Notice the _working_ exclude under /usr:
# ls -l /usr/local/home/mds/mail/.amanda.excludes
-rw---1 backup backup 59 Jan 28 01:00
/usr/local/home/mds/mail/.amanda.excludes
# ls -l /usr/.amanda.excludes
-rw---1 backup backup 23 Aug 4 09:33 /usr/.amanda.excludes
When I comment OUT the `exclude list optional' line from conf, then I
get *NO* amcheck errors -- which is what I did for last night's backup.
What is the problem here?
What is the solution to that problem?
What do you think?

Re: Can't open exclude file ???
Hi, Amanda will always give an error if it can't access the exclude file unless it's a ENOENT (no such file) with the optional option. It's a configuration mistake, you told amanda to use a file and it can't check if the file exist. first solution: Change your DLE for this disk to remove the exclude command. second solution: Make sure amanda can access the /usr/local/home/mds/mail directory.

Upgrade
Hi all, I have an installation where Amanda has been built by me (remember those annoying questions 'How do I execute scripts from within Amanda' last year ? ;-) ) I would like to upgrade to 2.4.4; is there anything I should keep in mind ?

selfcheck, sendsize and sendbackup are run on client as the amanda user. They have the same permission. It's only the backup program that is sometime run as root.

Yes, JLM pointed out another thing I did not know. amcheck does not consider it an error for the file to not exist, it is listed as optional. But amcheck does consider it an error if the file has the wrong permissions or if it is unable to determine if it exists. The latter was your problem. amcheck could not determine if there was a good exclude file (or none) in the mail directory. It did not have permission to visit the directory. -- Jon H.

it should be conceptually fairly easy to add krb5 (hopefully gssapi, actually) code to parallel the krb4 support. the hard part is that there can be more than one enctype, but we could force 3des. gsswrap will be unusable due to the err interesting scheme the krb4 stuff uses. -- Greg Troxel [EMAIL PROTECTED]
