Re: mutiple network interfaces
How do I tell Amanda to use a specific network interface if 2 exist on
the system.
I think you define it in amanda.conf like:
define interface eth2 {
comment "1000 Mbps ethernet"
use 4000 kbps
}
then use it in disklist file, put eth2 at the end of each list you want it
to be used.
For instance I would like Amanda to only use the ce4 interface..
ce0: flags=1000843 mtu 1500 index 2
inet 10.20.1.181 netmask broadcast 10.20.255.255
ether 0:3:ba:9a:4f:6f
ce4: flags=1000843 mtu 1500 index 3

Re: gtar still running after amdump was done
I am running amanda 2.5.2p1 with "-o tpchanger= -o tapedev=" options, my holding disk is 100GB. The server/client is on the same computer. After amdump finished, I found there are still two "gtar" running. I checked amanda log file, it says "... FAIL driver [host] [disk1] [date] 0 [no more holding disk space] FAIL driver [host] [disk2] [date] 0 [no more holding disk space] " at the end, and the two disks are corresponding to the two "gtar" processes. Is this right? Is it should be automatically killed/aborted if this happens? I've seen and reported this problem many times, in this exact instance (holddisk filled up) and also when there is a data timeout either during the estimate phase or with amdump. Thing is that it's not 100% reproducible in my local setup so I suspect that some other condition(s) must be met for this to happen. The problem is known, but difficult to solve. It means that the server should contact the client (which in the current implementation is not expecting such actions) and the client should find the related running processes, and kill them. The situation is sufficiently rare, and the solution sufficiantly complicated, that a fix is not yet implemented. Anyway, a fix on the server would not work any existing client either. What the server does now, is close the TCP-connection. And whenever the other side notices the closed connection, any program depending on it should stop. But it seems that some clients fail to detect this (OS dependend?) or, at least, take a long time after the fact to detect this. When this happens, you usually get the cryptic error message in the client debug files "connection reset by peer". It's sometimes difficult to relate this to a server problem some time before. Thank for the detailed explanation. So this seems radom. Yesterday, my backup was done fine. The log still gave the error for the exact same two diskes: "... FAIL driver [host] [disk1] [date] 0 [no more holding disk space] FAIL driver [host] [disk2] [date] 0 [no more holding disk space] " Yet, no 'gtar' was left running.

Re: Dump to holding disk only?
I am wondering if there is a way to tell amanda to dump to holding disk only. Then I will amflush it to tape, this way I can keep the tape busy all time as I understand to prevent shoe-shinning for sure. I understand if I don't put any tapes in the drive, this will be done. But I have a tape library can hold 16 tapes, I would like to take advantage of that without changing tape everyday manually like a single tape drive. The idea of the holding disk is to prevent such shoe-shining. If your holding disk is large enough, and if your server can dump clients faster than the tape can write, then it will collect dumps in holding and write them out when they are complete, just as you'd like.

Re: amanda on Mac OS X
Good to know, Michael, I am still using the xtar trick, didn't even check, , and amanda works on Intel chipped Mac just fine. Chen Hello Karel, Hello list, FYI: I'm happily running amanda-2.5.0 on Mac OS X 10.4.6. No compile problems whatsoever and as a special treat, Apple has updated their UNIX utilities in 10.4 to properly work with HFS+ and resource forks. So no hfstar/xtar is needed any more. I've tested this quite a bit and found it to work nicely, although I haven't tested a full system recovery. An update to https://webserver.brandeis.edu/pages/view/Bio/AmandaMacOSXCompileNotes or http://www.amanda.org/docs/systemnotes.html#id2526824 to reflect this change might be nice. Since Apple has retired init and xinetd and replaced them by launchd, I've written a proper LaunchDaemon-File for it. It's attached to this mail. I also have small scripts enableamanda and disableamanda to switch it on and off at runtime using launchctl using a command like: echo "load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.amanda.amandad.plist" | launchctl and echo "unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.amanda.amandad.plist" | launchctl Thanks and keep up the great work! === Yu Chen Howard Hughes Medical Institute Chemistry Building, Rm 182 University of Maryland at Baltimore County 1000 Hilltop Circle Baltimore, MD 21250 phone: (410)455-6347 (primary) (410)455-2718 (secondary) fax:(410)455-1174 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ===

Answer looks pretty clear from the charts here: http://b2b.sony.com/documents/category/storage/branded-tape/AIT_Drives/AIT-4/AITMedia_05.pdf I suppose it was necessary in order to progress, but bailing on backwards compatibility is very annoying to the customer.

Re: Preventing yum or up2date to update gnu tar
From time to time, we run "yum update" (On centos) or up2date (On redHat) to keep our servers patched. Reading the amanda docs, I realize that there could be problem with gnu tar if we back up with one version and restore with another... I know it's not really an amanda question but this may be something one of you Linux admins might have encountered. Is there a way to prevent "up2date" or "yum update" to update certain packages ? Like gnu tar ? You can edit the file /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date, to let up2date skip the gnutar package.

Re: The Top Ten
I think it is easier just modify the amdump script to run scirpts before/after backups, so no recompiling, no testing, plain shell scripting. Just put whatever you want at the beginning and end of amdump. Chen On Sun, 8 Feb 2004, Paul Bijnens wrote: > Stefan G.

Re: can't backup a disk?
Thanks Frank and Gene, I think I got it. Very helpful list!

Re: can't backup a disk?
Thanks again, Gene and Frank! Yeah, my tar is fine, it's 1.13-25. I installed amanda from rpms. So according to Frank, since /var and /var/spool/mail are on different diskes, tar shouldn't cross them, right?

Re: can't backup a disk?
Thanks, Gene Think that might be the problem. I will try it tonight. So you mean by "dump", it should backup everything under /var including /var/spool/mail? But it didn't happen on my system, the "dump" didn't back it up. That's why I added the entry.

Hello, I have a client with diskes like this: /dev/hda1 /boot /dev/hda2 / /dev/hda3 /var /dev/hda5 /var/spool/mail before, the amanda works fine with the first three diskes, recently, I added /var/spool/mail to the disklist, but amanda failed to back it up, gave out message: FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: hostname /var/spool/mail lev 0 FAILED [disk /var/spool/mail offline?] I don't know where to look into, thanks for any advices!
