Another 3.4 Issue
When I do amcheck -m -c I get an email that says: (brought to you by Amanda 3.4) even though no problems are found. From the amcheck man page: -m Nothing is printed, but mail is sent if any errors are detected. The mail goes to the mailto address specified in the amanda.conf file or the address value if -M is set.

Re: Amrecover Crashing
I wrote about woes of amrecover crashing because of control characters in the filenames being restored and Jean-Louis replied: > Try to set the locale to 'C', gnu tar should convert all control > character to octal value.

Amrecover Crashing
I'm trying to restore files from a disk that failed. The restore crashes when it reaches a file which has control characters in the filename: /Uinfo18/prog/get_can_frelaU/\330\264\345\277\364\265\345\277 The terminal freezes, amrecover crashes, I'm dead in the water. I tried running it in gdb and the same thing happened, but I was able to attach to the process and do a bt: #0 0x00374f03079a in sigsuspend () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #1 0x0047bee1 in ??

Re: recommendations for tape libraries and tapes
I recommend the Tandberg Storageloader line. I've had my LTO-4 HH 10 tape library for many years. When it stopped working Tandberg repaired it for a flat rate of $1400, the refurbished drive has been great. An internet search will bring up numerous size choices. Another department here recently upgraded from LTO-4 to LT0-6 and although they weren't happy with the speed increase, the added capacity (approximately 4X the LT0-4) made it worthwhile.

Re: Transient data-path errors when running amcheck
As directed, I tried changing from chg-zd-mtx to chg-robot. Here's
my changer definition:
define changer "gen-drive-0" {
tpchanger "chg-robot:/dev/changer"
changerfile "/local/etc/amanda/gen/changer-state"
property "tape-device" "0=tape:/dev/gentape"
property "eject-before-unload" "no"
property "use-slots" "1-7"
property "fast-search" "no"
property "ignore-barcodes" "yes"
property "eject-delay" "10"
property "unload-delay" "10"
property "load-poll" "0 s poll 5 s until 120 s"
}
now after the last amdump, current slot was set to 4. The next
time I ran amcheck, for some reason it decided to use slot 6 for
the next tape instead of #5 and amtape reports:
amtape gen current
slot 6: time 20130823170001 label gen072
so I try to switch it to 5 with amtape:
amtape gen slot 5
ERROR: Slot: 5: slot 5 is empty
But that's not the case, as mtx status shows:
Storage Changer /dev/changer:1 Drives, 7 Slots ( 0 Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 6 Loaded)
Storage Element 1:Full
Storage Element 2:Full
Storage Element 3:Full
Storage Element 4:Full
Storage Element 5:Full
Storage Element 6:Empty
Storage Element 7:Full
So I do an mtx unload:
Unloading drive 0 into Storage Element 6...done
but amtape still refuses to co-operate:
amtape gen slot 5
ERROR: Slot: 5: slot 5 is empty
So I do:
mtx load 5
Loading media from Storage Element 5 into drive 0...
Finally amtape agrees with me:
amtape gen slot 5
slot 5: time 20130819170001 label gen071
changed to slot 5
---
Reasons like this are why I went back to chg-zd-mtx. Although
it still messes up, at least it doesn't skip tapes randomly.

Amtape Slot Next Problem
I'm using an LTO4 tape library and amanda 3.2.1. When I do:
amtape slot next
Amanda skips over the slot I want it to use and goes to the last
available slot. For example, if the current slot is 4 and I want
to use tape 5, it is skipped over and 6 is loaded instead (7 is a
cleaning tape). Here's my tape entry in amanda.conf:
define changer "gen-drive-0" {
tpchanger "chg-robot:/dev/changer"
changerfile "/local/etc/amanda/gen/changer-state"
property "tape-device" "0=tape:/dev/gentape"
property "eject-before-unload" "no"
property "use-slots" "1-7"
property "fast-search" "no"
property "ignore-barcodes" "yes"
property "load-poll" "0 s poll 3 s until 120 s"
}
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Steve

Question on Current Slot in 3.1.2
Before upgrading to the latest version, if I wanted to change my current tape slot I just edited /changer-slot and put in the number. Now there's a changer-state file instead and it's not so straightforward. How's the best way to set the current slot now? Thanks, Steve -- Steven J.

Let me know what logs you'd like to see. Thanks, Steve -- Steven J.

Re: amrecover ignores --prefix
> check you xinetd config to be sure you run the amandad in /local/... That was the problem all right, it was running amandad from /usr/local. Thanks Jean-Louis. Steve -- Steven J.

amrecover ignores --prefix
I'm doing a trial installation of amanda and don't want to mess up my regular install, so I compiled with --prefix=/local. Regardless of this, amrecover is still looking for my config files in /usr/local/etc/amanda/ instead of /local/etc/amanda/. Is this expected behavior, a bug or ? I'm using amanda-2.6.0p2.

I've determined my drive can label tapes but can't read old tapes. I get the Input/Output error whenever trying to read a previously labeled tape or dd out anything.

Busted Tape Drive
Ever since my latest update from Red Hat, my VXA-2 tape library has stopped working. It appears /dev/tape is now a directory instead of a link to /dev/nst0 and every command I give to the drive returns /dev/nst0: Input/output error. I've tried removing /dev/tape and linking it to /dev/nst0 with no joy. I've also tried using dd, which returns the same error. I've tried re-compiling Amanda too. I'm running Red Hat AS 4.x and amanda 2.5.2p1, anyone got any ideas? Thanks, Steve -- Steven J.

Problem with Exclude Lists
I have several excludelists and most work but one doesn't. Here's
an example of one that works. In amanda.conf:
define dumptype comp-ambiance-home1-tar {
global
exclude list "/usr/local/etc/amanda/genepi/home1-excludelist"
program "GNUTAR"
comment "user partitions dumped with tar"
compress client fast
priority medium
}
Here is home1-excludelist:
./anal2/CVG
Here is another one (this one doesn't work, all files are still
backed up):
define dumptype comp-grandeur-gen13-tar {
global
exclude list "/usr/local/etc/amanda/genepi/gen13-excludelist"
program "GNUTAR"
comment "user partitions dumped with tar"
compress client fast
priority medium
}
Here is gen13-excludelist:
./gen13/coal/r03/noback/
I'm using amanda 2.5.2p1. Is this too deep to exclude? Can anyone
help me debug this?
Thanks,
Steve

Amflush Slow in 2.5.2
Friday night I was somewhat more successful with autoflush in that my disks were emptied correctly, albeit very slowly. The new amflush took ~24 hours to complete, a factor of 3 times more slowly than 2.5.1p3. Further, my tape usage was very poor, in 2.5.2 I see: USAGE BY TAPE: Label Time Size %NbNc genepi042 5:03 37759264k 57.819 0 genepi043 9:35 71714592k 109.723 0 genepi044 8:13 61836128k 94.747 0 genepi045 3:17 24587904k 37.6 1 0 Note the first tape was only half used. As far as I can tell, autoflush in 2.5.2 uses a new tape for the old dumps, not filling up the first. I never had this problem with previous versions: USAGE BY TAPE: Label Time Size %NbNc genepi035 2:33 54701152k 83.840 0 genepi036 3:29 74139808k 113.428 0 genepi051 2:36 55659520k 85.122 0 In short, amflush, although working now, seems to have performance problems.

Autoflush not working in 2.5.2
My solaris machine seems to have backed up fine last night, however, none of my holding disks were drained. I do nightly backups to the holding disk Monday - Thursday then put in the tape on Friday, autoflush used to take care of the rest, not so last night. So this morning I run amflush and select ALL for the directories I want to flush. As in the man page, I expect: Are you sure you want to do this? yes Running in background, you can log off now. You'll get mail when amflush is finished. But that never comes up, eventually I log off and amflush dies, now when I try to use it I get: Scanning /home1/dumps/amanda... 20070428150002: found Amanda directory. 20070430190001: found Amanda directory. 20070501190001: found Amanda directory. 20070502190001: found Amanda directory. 20070503190001: found Amanda directory.

Problem With Solaris 2.5.2
I run my server on Red Hat AS4 Linux 4.x and back up 5 clients, one of which is a Solaris 2.8.

autoclean problems
In my changer.conf file I have: cleanslot=7 Slot with cleaner tape -- default is "-1" autoclean=1 Set to '1' or greater to enable autocleancount=21 Number of access before a clean. But it never "autocleans." There's a file called changer-clean in my config directory and it says: 68 But I don't know what that means. I've been using 2.5.1p2 (now p3) and no joy. Does this work? Any particular config options I may be missing? Thanks, Steve -- Steven J.

Duplicate Pages with 3hole.ps

Since I had no maxdumps in my amanda.conf perhaps it defaults to the inparallel setting 6 * 2 = 12? I've changed the ACK_WAIT to 10 and made these other changes. I'll let you know how it goes tonight. Steve -- Steven J.
