Hi all Amanda-2.5.2p1 on both the server and client. The backup devices are vtapes on the server. I ran amdump on the server. The backup would be full dump (Lv0). After I ran amdump, I found the vtape directory not being correctly set. I Thought that the backup was failure. When I checked the

NFS mount tar incremental problem

2008-01-23 Thread Jordan Desroches
Hello all, I've been having a problem with incremental dumps on a NFS mounted Netapp. AMANDA runs great until I reboot the client (or remount the NFS shares on the client). At that point, while calcsize predicts what I believe is the correct incremental dump size, tar proceeds to do a

Thanks, Paul, for your helpful responses! As you requested, I've tried to run the amadmin command but it seems this version doesn't know that parameter of amadmin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ amadmin DailySet1 config amadmin: unknown command config However, as this is a binary package, I'm not

Hi Marc, thanks for your ideas! The system does indeed resolve it's full FQDN both through dig/nslookup, but pinging the IP address does not resolve the hostname. Not sure if this is an issue? The output from your netstat command does indeed list the correct ports and services listening

I agree the problem is with gnutar, and also agree that the root cause of my problem, and the cause of the problem that Paul described and linked to, are the same: some attribute (either major/minor with a file system, or with NFS, FSID) is changing that is fooling gnutar into thinking
