Hi, Nevermind folks, I figured it out. Guess I just panicked because it was the Friday before Christmas... ;) The problem was large filesystems that were all scheduled for level 0 dumps. Amanda was timing out before dump was finished estimating the sizes. Increasing "etimeout" in amanda.conf

need help: selfcheck not working on tapehost

2000-12-22 Thread Eric A. Sproul
Hi, I'd *really* like to fix this before the holidays... ;) My tapehost can't seem to back itself up. Last night's report indicates "request timed out", as does a subsequent amcheck. I've consulted the FAQ for amcheck, and since /tmp/amanda/amandad.debug had not been rewritten since the previo

Hi, Every time I look at Amanda's debug output I learn something new... Can anyone tell me what the last message means in this sendsize.debug excerpt? DUMP: Date of this level 2 dump: Tue Dec 12 01:53:14 2000 DUMP: Date of last level 1 dump: Wed Dec 6 02:25:22 2000 DUMP: Dumping /dev/rda0s

Nevermind folks. Sandro Ferrand was kind enough to prod my gray matter and I realized I had not put the operator user into the disk group. I told you it was a simple mistake! ;^) Thanks, Eric -- Eric Sproul, Systems Administrator Cornerstone Networks Inc. (http://www.cstone.net)
