Everything is OK except when the disklist includes the AIX client the amverify command on the server produces hundreds of these errors: Known tar 1.15 ish bugDebian tar 1.15.1-2 has a patch for it atleast, though I thought that 1.15.1 upstream had it patched, it showed up in or around 1.14 and persisted for quite a while. Debian Sarge's default tar has the issue. 1.13.25 is known to me to be good,. though i thought it was fixed in 1.15.1 as well, but maybe only in debians. Try finding an older or newer tar package. 1.13.25ish, or go after 1.15.1, 1.14 definitely has the bug. /bin/gtar: ./987366/cred: invalid sparse archive member /bin/gtar: ./987366/sigact: invalid sparse archive member /bin/gtar: ./991470/sigact: invalid sparse archive member /bin/gtar: ./995570/cred: invalid sparse archive member /bin/gtar: ./995570/sigact: invalid sparse archive member /bin/gtar: ./999676/sigact: invalid sparse archive member The tar version from both machines: AIX Client: (/)- which tar /usr/bin/tar (/)- /usr/bin/tar --version tar (GNU tar) 1.15.1 (/)- RedHat Server: (/root)- which tar /bin/tar (/root)- /bin/tar --version tar (GNU tar) 1.15.1 (/root)- amverify does not write to the /tmp/amanda place like it’s supposed to either.
