A question about how ssh auth works
We have just set up our first client using ssh auth. This machine is behind firewall, and has a non routbale address (192.168,x,x). The firewall is set up such that ssh from outside for this machine goes to port 1026, and is port fwarded via the firewall to the clinet. I set this up following the instructions in the manual, and must say thank you for the fact that it works so well. Howeveer, my curiosity is killing me. How does amandad get woken up on the client machine ins this scenario? Normall it is listening on port 1080, and is managed by inetd (or one of it's cousins).

You found the current slot correctly, in the changer state. However, amtape taper does not return the next slot - it returns the next tape the taper will write to, by applying the taperscan algorithm - see amanda-taperscan(7). So what you have is not a changer misconfiguration, but your tapes are arranged such that the next tape Amanda will use is in slot 4. chg-multi is not fast-searchable, so stage 1 will be skipped, in this case. The new implementation of this algorithm is a good bit more verbose, so you can at least see what Amanda is thinking Thanks. Turns out the issue was unrealted to the machine crash. I am cycling in a series of new tapes, and it looks like I will have to manually take one out of tapelist every day till that is finished. It had 25 entries in it, not 25, as it should.

Amanda (and I) are confused :-)
I have managed to get myself quite confused here, and I am hoping someone
can help get me unconfused :-)
I have a 2.6.1.p1 server that backs up to a RAIT. This RAIT consost of a
vtape, and a real tape. We started out life with the tapes being labeled
DailyDump00 - DailyDump24. The vtape partions are vtape1 -. vtape25. Yes I
see that is a recipe for confusion.
In any case, my tapes have grown old, and I am trying to insert new tapes.
I am trying to lable these tapes as DailyDump50 - DailyDump74
Right at the moment, I can't seem to get Amanda to realize it has a tape
avaialble. The top of the tapelist file looks like this:
0 DailyDump53 reuse
20100113222821 DailyDump52 reuse
20100112223028 DailyDump51 reuse
2010011133 DailyDump50 reuse

20100104222421 DailyDump23 reuse
20100104072155 DailyDump22 reuse
20091231222145 DailyDump21 reuse

2009121846 DailyDump09 reuse
20091217222502 DailyDump08 reuse
20091216222448 DailyDump07 reuse
I would think this would be slot 4 in the changer, but for some reason I
have to use amtape to position to slot 5 to see DailyDump53
ama...@amanda:/opt/amanda/etc/DailyDump$ amtape DailyDump slot 5
amtape: changed to slot 5 on
rait:{file:/vtapes/DailyDump/vtape5,tape:/dev/nst0}

NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Tape DailyDump53 label ok
Server check took 12.881 seconds
(brought to you by Amanda 2.6.1)
So, at least at that point I would think I could run an amflush, but if I
do I get:

There is a mismatch, be sure that both changer current slot is the one
you want.
Do you see that error in the email report form amflush?
But I did an explict amtape DailyDump slot 4, which should have gottent me
to vtape4, and I ran an amcehcek after that and it was happy. And it's not
like amflush tried to advance the changer, as vtape3 is _before_ vtape4.
What am I missing?

Yes:
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: DailyDump00.
The next new tape already labelled is: DailyDump13.
Why is she not happy with the DailyDump53 tape I just labeled?

amanda-client.conf ?
Tried to do some recovering yesterday, using amrecover, and could not get past the timeout waiting for ack on systems that were working, the last time I checked. Goggle led me to a post on the Zamnda forum suggesting that I needed an amanda-client.conf file. I have never even heard of this file in many years of suing amanda. Having said that, adding it, did solve the problem. Looking at this, it appears that when we changed to TCP from UDP this might be the trigger that meant we needed this file, as it does specify the auth. Is this what happened? If so, is there a way to specify this on the amrecover command line, so I don't have to put this file on 50+ machines? -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

OpenBSD clients
I am trying this a 3rd time, W/O the atachments, and after resubscribing to
the list :-(
What a morning.
In any case the debug files can be found at http://beachcave.net/amanda
And I ma sorry if theis is a repeat, but I never saw the other 2 atempsts
come back from the list.
I am starting a new thread on this, as the old one was getting to be hard
to find things in, and I have not worked on this for a couple of days.
To revies, I am trying to get OpenBSD clients working with anything
resembling a modern version of Amanda. The version of OpenBSD I am using is
4.5, which is the current version. I have a 2.6.1 master machine, running
on Ubuntu Linux. I was sucesfully backing up a number of older versions of
OpenBSD machines, with various older versions of Amanda. Amanda 2.5.0p1
with bsd auth works on these new OpenBSD machines. Amanda 2.5.2p1 (which I
believe I need to support the user freindly recovery programs) does not
work,
Amcjeck runs fine, and the backups start, but 50% of them fail part way
through the backup. I have tried going to bsdtcp auth with no improvement.
I have truned of client compression with no improvemnt.
Someone on the list told me that it appeared that the failure was occuring
in the stream_accept() function call. which is defined in
common-src/stream.c. I add some additional debuging for last nights run, as
follows:
} else if(nfound == 0) {
dbprintf(plural(_(stream_accept: timeout after %d\n),
_(stream_accept: timeout after %d\n),
timeout),
timeout);
+ dbprintf(plural(_(stream_accept: server_socket = %d\n),
+ _(stream_accept: server_socket = %d\n),
+ server_socket),
+
server_socket);
But, it did not trigger. Amstaus reports:
pblab:wd0a118m finished (23:04:26)
pblab:wd0d1 0m finished (23:04:32)
pblab:wd0e0 1m finished (23:04:22), PARTIAL

wd0d 0 SIZE 180
I am atching the amandad debug files from last nights run.
I have compiled amanda on the OpenBSD machine with denguing symbols, so
that I run it under the debuger. Can anyone sugest what to do next to try
to localize the problem?
Thanks for all the help on this!!
PS, can someone breifly describe the control flow of sending a backup, so
that I cna figure out where to put more diagnostics in the appropriaye
code? I assume amandad is where that needs to go? Or does it need to go in
sendbackup? Or both?
BTW, here are teh DLE's for this amchine:
pblab wd0a stan-test 1 eth0
pblab wd0f stan-test 1 eth0
pblab wd0d stan-test 1 eth0
pblab wd0e stan-test 1 eth0
And here is the dumptype df:
define dumptype stan-test {
global
comment Non-root partitions on reasonably fast machines
compress none
maxdumps 4
priority medium
#auth bsdtcp
}
The only active lines in global are:
index yes
record yes
Any sugestions whatsover as to how to proceed with debuging this will be
greatly appreciated!!
Thanks, again.

Doesn amanda no longer do estimates for a given host in parallel?
In doing some testing, it appears that Amanda 2.6.1 no longer does estimates for multiple DLE's on a client in parallel. Is this true? If so, can I configure Amanda to the old behavior?

For some reason the socket is not getting marked ready for read.

This bit of code in 2.5.2p1's common-src/stream.c is where
the failure is happening for you...
int
stream_accept(
int server_socket,
int timeout,
size_t sendsize,
size_t recvsize)

struct timeval tv;
int nfound, connected_socket;

tv.tv_sec = timeout;
memset(readset, 0, SIZEOF(readset));
FD_ZERO(readset);
FD_SET(server_socket, readset);
nfound = select(server_socket+1, readset, NULL, NULL, tv);
if(nfound = 0 || !FD_ISSET(server_socket, readset)) {
save_errno = errno;
if(nfound 0) {
dbprintf((%s: stream_accept: select() failed: %s\n,

dbprintf((%s: stream_accept: timeout after %d second%s\n,
debug_prefix_time(NULL),
timeout,
(timeout == 1) ? : s));
errno = ENOENT; /* ??? */
return -1;
The firts thing I notice when comparing this function in 2.5.0 vs 2.5.2 is
that 2.5.0 does:
tv.tv_usec = 0;
and 2.5.2 does not. Could thim make a difference? Both do

I'm not saying that's your problem, but using a crossover cable doesn't rule it out. Fair enough, but I think we can rule that out in this case. First, I control the 2 computersin question. The Master backus up 55 machines a day taht consist of a diverse nix of OS'es, and Amanda versions. It's a Linux machine, and I am not running a firwall on it. The client is an OpenBSD machine.

I recently tried to upgrade several of my OpenBSD machines to 4.5 (X86). I also upgraded the Amanda clients on them to 2.6.1, which I have working on FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris 5, Solaris 8, and HP-UX. Despite my best efforts, I have yet to get the OpenBSD 4.5 clients to back up correctly. All the configurations are set up to match what has been done on FreeBSD. Amcheck works fine, and when I start a backup, the size estimates step works. But 80% of the time the actual dumps fail. They start, but fail in mid dump. They are returning a EAGAIN error on the network pipes back to the Amanda master machine. I have connected one of the OpenBSD machines directly to the Amanda master with a crossover cable to eliminate any possible firewall/router et all issues. I notice that the port of Amanda is quite an old version, and the developers of this project are (unfortunately) breaking compatibility with older clients. I don't like this, but, at this point in time, it is beyond my resources to address this breakage. Has anyone gotten an newer version of Amanda to work on OpenBSD 4.5? Can anyone suggest what I should do to try to diagnose this problem further? -- One of the main causes of the fall of the roman empire was that, lacking zero, they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs.

Since you upgraded the OpenBSD, perhaps for sanity and just checking and troubleshooting, you should grab an older Amanda that you already have implemented, and get that working on the upgraded OpenBSD. That might just work, or it might clue you in to what's going on. Thanks, I was just thinking of doing that. Unfortunately the OpenBSD machines were not all alike (ah, such is life) and were of various OS and Amanda versions. We have also decided to not go beyond 2.5.2 on some of our machines that are traped in history land. As that version supports all of the functionality we need (bsdtcp auth, and restore compatibility with our 2.6.1 server). I am presently trying to get that working on one of the OpenBSD 2.5 machines, but that isn't going all that well either. None of our OpenBSD machines that we are replacing had a version of Amanda that new, so just copying binaries over from one of the not yet updated machines doesn't make too much sense. What a frustrating week this has been!! Thanks for the suggestions. -- One of the main causes of the fall of the roman empire was that, lacking zero, they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs.

One more thing thta's going to make this df`ificult is that the contractor I had do this upgrade installed 86 OpenBSD, when we had AMD64 previously. So my old binaries are not any good either :-( -- One of the main causes of the fall of the roman empire was that, lacking zero, they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs.
