include not included?
Hi,
Got this client (Amanda-2.5.1p2 same as server) for which a few DLEs
with includes don't work, ie the include debug files are empty and the
DLE backups nothing. Turns out that some dirs leading to the DLEs are
700 to some user and so amanda can't stat below the
read-write-exec-user-only directory. First time I encounter this. I
though runtar being suid to root would not be affected by this...
DLE:
gertrude concussion2_jenkai_05
/export_raid02/data-concussion-concussion2/jenkai/McGill/analysis/fMRI/individuals
{
tar-bsdtcpauth-100
include "./hockey"
}
In the diskpath ".../McGill/..." is 700 to some user:
# ls -ld /export_raid02/data-concussion-concussion2/jenkai/McGill
drwxr- 4 jenkai ptitolab 35 Jan 16 13:30
/export_raid02/data-concussion-concussion2/jenkai/McGill/
and the include is empty (after running amcheck):
ls -la /tmp/amanda-conf9/selfcheck.concussion2_jenkai_05.20070118135050.include
-rw--- 1 amanda disk 0 Jan 18 13:50
/tmp/amanda-conf9/selfcheck.concussion2_jenkai_05.20070118135050.include
If I make that dir 755 (say) all is good and the include debug file
shows "./hockey" as it should.
Is this the expected behaviour?
thanks!
jf

Well, don't forget, amanda's been able to do backups over ssh for a while now...

As I don't run amanda across network boundaries, probably I can be of little help here. Few pointers, however: * Did you spent some quality time using tcpdump and friends to see your modified build of amanda actually is exclusively using the port range you want it to use? I recommend doing some monitoring and figuring out what happens in your setup. * Perhaps you might consider using an option other than amanda for doing cross-network backups. No offense folks, I love amanda and its feature set, but sync'ing machines across networks usually I fall back to using rsync/ssh as it needs way less firewall tweaking / port opening. Overally, as I dislike the idea of having _one_ amanda installation making its way through a firewall, the idea of having even _two_ of them gives me the creeps. :) Cheers, Kristian -- Dipl.-Ing.(BA) Kristian Rink * Software- und Systemingenieur planConnect GmbH * Strehlener Str. 12 - 14 * 01069 Dresden fon: 0351 4657770 * mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * http://www.pm-planc.de
Dilog Libra 8 - experience anyone?
Greets, amanda-users, happy new year ... Recently I lost two tapedrives in a row, one DLT and one DDS-3, so I had to quickly get another one. I ebayed around a bit, and decided for a Dilog Libra 8 library, mainly because of the low price and the fact that I have lots of DDS3-tapes already. I browsed the ml-archives and only found one note from Marc Schaefer, who worked for Dilog back then and tested it with Amanda positively. He mentioned that it worked with chio, which is rather old now afaik. Does anyone has used such a library with mtx as well? Any infos on this? Dunno if Marc is still subscribed here ... Currently I am waiting for this box to be delivered, so I still had no possibility to try it out by myself. Thanks, greets, Stefan

Re: Cant run two Linux Servers behind my firewall at the same time - only one and vice versa.
Hi List I was hoping for some direction to my issue with two servers behind a firewall running ipchains I can backup one or the other but when I uncomment both DLE I get host down. Thanks in advance. chuck.amadi wrote: Hi I have two Linux SuSE 9 SLES servers outside of my lan behind a firewall using (I know don't laugh) IPChains. The first server I setup worked without problems by compiling with the tcp and udp port range and changing a parameter in security.c file and increasing the timeout using a ipchain rule, which worked a treat but I have another new server outside and behine a firewall. Thus when I tried following the same reciepe and compile using the same tcp and udp port range and thus a separate tcp and udp port range to no joy I am unable to get both to work at the same time if I comment out one of the amanda clients within the disklist the other doesn't work and vice versa So I know it is not the setup or configure. #The timeout is in seconds. If you set the timeout of TCP, TCPFIN #and UDP to 5 seconds, 5 seconds and 5 seconds, I think they are #too short.

Host down!. Note that when I comment out one of them amcheck works accordingly I am aware the it's using udp over the firewall But I haven't been able to suss this out I assume that my connection is poor. I have checked both /tmp/amanda/amanda-date.debug and they both moan about timeouts failed But are OK when only one of them is in use. Cheers
