Problems with amdump from HP-UX 11.0 server to BSD/OS 4.2

The 'amcheck' commands succeeds. The 'amdump' connects

minutes, the 'amdump' quits.

After looking at this some more, I can't figure out why we are not
using the Amanda stream_client function which already does all the right
things (and does **not** bind specific host addresses). So if someone

After several days of searching, reading, and cussing, I am posting my woes
in the hopes someone has some insight to using barcodes.
Just for background, I have a Dell Poweredge-2400 with RedHat 6.2, running
amanda-2.4.2p1. My tape library is an ADIC Scalar 100 hanging off a dedicated

just a thought, that may not be the answer...
try setting your chunksize to something like 1Gb (or 200M, if that works for
you). This means that if it's backing up 2.5G, no individual file in the
holding disk area will be bigger than that chunksize. We needed it because

I think this is fixed in 2.4.2, and that the following is the appropriate
patch.

I've been meaning to submit this for about two years.. it's probably
not as useful anymore, but who knows.

If you take a closer look at the numbers you'll see these are actually
averages over the individual file systems
Are you using the latest MTX version?
Is the problem mtx itself? (Can you run "mtx load x", "mtx unload x" etc?
Or is the problem with the changer script? Are you using the latest
version? You can get it at

hello everybody;
I'm sorry for my last question maybe it was not clear.
so i'm going to try again.

In case it wasn't clear from Alexandre's reply, the first problem is
that you are using the ".1" holding disk file. The file you want should
be named:
Sorry. That should have been:
amrestore -p \

Since upgrading VxFS (Veritas Filesystem) to v 3.3.3 on our Solaris 2.6 servers,
amanda (2.4.1-p1) is complaining about strange dump results. An excerpt
from a mail follows.
