How about an amadmin command like 'configure-options' that allows you
to do something like this when upgrading:
./configure `amadmin configure-options`

. Maybe 'make
install' should but config.local somewhere helpful (like /var/amanda?)
and the docs can mention this technique for upgrading.
But it's still not as clean as the previous suggestion. I'm just
thinking usability here. Computers are capable of being smart so they
should be. :-)

I am getting consistent timeout errors on a couple hosts. This doesn't
occur when I run amcheck, just during a dump. I'm using tar on all
hosts, so it's not a Linux dump issue. These two hosts are conspicuous
because they are old (so kernel, libraries

So do you have any idea how tapetype wrote 9.5GB to a 7GB tape?? If
hardware compression would have made it less, then do you think
that there was some kind of tape error?
No, I have no idea
not responding (port closed) if I scan a range of ports, but it
tells me it's open, running amandad if I scan just the 10080 port. So
that's all the tips I can give you. If I can figure out this last
client, I'll let you know.

.*.debug file to see if
the connection is even starting amandad. If the file exists, it may
give you more insight to where the problem is.
There is a whole list of steps in the FAQ that you can run through to
see where the problem might be.

If you use amcheck it will try to connect to the client daemon
(amandad) the proper way and then tell you if there are any problems.

rebuilt the client using the latest stable source
and (therefore) amandahosts authentication. This has fixed the
authentication problem.

I'll upgrade the client machine and rebuild to use amandahosts. That
will probably solve all the access problems.

The only thing I can think is that perhaps the client (not installed
by me) was built with a different user than 'tape

dumpcycle 30 days
runspercycle 9
tapecycle 10 tapes
And then setup cron to call amdump on nine days throughout the month?

that's the tape drive device.
I don't know what to make of the Input/outpu error message though.
Could be that there's a problem in the tape drivers? Or something
else?

6. After this try an amtape daily reset
Returned
amtape: changer is reset, slot chg-scsi: is loaded.
So it looks like this might work. How does this approach compare to
Paul's chg-userland fix?
