I'm going the silly way.  I forgot all about dump only working on

I thought that was going to be the answer for sure because I see that
I'm using gtar on my Solaris machine and dump on the AIX.
I just installed gnu tar on my AIX machine and I tried again using
GNUTAR instead of DUMP.  I also changed what I'm backing up on mike
from /dev/hd3 to /tmp.  Similar response.  Missing estimate.

But now the contents of the /tmp/amanda/*.debug files should at least
be different.  What is it now?

So brilliantly simple and obvious that I didn't think of it 8-)
I still believe amanda should deal with such filenames properly, but 
this workaround is more than ok with me. Tested it today and it appears 
to be fine.

Please just email such questions to the amanda-users list.  This is off 
topic for amanda-hackers, and sending a copy straight to Paul is not 
really necessary.

If you're asking what I think you're asking, there are more dumptypes 
defined in the sample amanda.conf.  You can also define your own in there.

From man amanda, section DISKLIST:
  hostname diskname [ diskdevice ] dumptype [ spindle [ interface ] ]
And dumptype itself is explained the DUMPTYPE SECTION.
(I'm not gonna copy/paste the man page here.)
To have a look at the different possibilities to use these,
have a look in the docs/disklist file where you find many examples.

They should be different, because the path to gnutar is hardcoded in

so there was no support for gnutar built into the program.

After installing gnutar, you should recompile amanda.

getting amanda to dump AFS

2004-07-16 Thread pll+amanda

(I've sent this to the amanda-afs list, but I appear to be the only 
person other than Mitch actually on it, and he's apparently really 
busy :(

I've installed the amanda-afs utilities on my AFS server/amanda 
client, and I've installed amanda (with afs patches) on the same.

amcheck returns fine, amdump fails.  My guess is that the 
gtar-wrapper.pl script which is *supposed* to get called from runtar 
is not actually getting called, since runtar doesn't know to call it.

I've tried on the amanda ./configure line to specify

  --with-gnutar=/usr/sbin/gtar-wrapper.pl

however, that resulted in:

  WARNING: *** /usr/sbin/gtar-wrapper.pl is not GNU tar, so it will not be used.

Does anyone else here have amanda backing up AFS, and if so, can you 
help me along?

Thanks,
--

 so there was no support for gnutar built into the program.

Surprisingly, I actually thought about that after I ran the earlier test (mainly 
because I saw that GNUTAR was UNDEF on my Solaris machine, but it worked anyway).  I 
looked at the code and saw the GNUTAR dumptype will default to regular tar if it can't 
find gtar when amanda is configured (I think).  Nonetheless, I'm happy to try any 
suggestions, so I recompiled the client and tried again.  Here are my results:

amanda failed to report via email

2004-07-16 Thread Nina Pham
I have amanda running in a cron job, it suppose to backup 3 things. 
However, for some permission problem, 1 thing is failed to back up. I 
thought it would send the report via email to the email address 
specified in mailto no matter what. But that day, I didn't recieve the 
report via email. When I fix the permission problem, it successfully 
backup and I received email report everyday since then. What might cause 
the problem of sending email? is it a amanda bug? I doesn't make sense 
to me that amanda doesn't send report when there's a problem .
