I'm running a new amanda server at my site, to new clients. Both the client and server are Solaris 10 x86 Amanda is version 2.6.1p1.
the apparent error is --------------------- 1267158428.081782: amgtar: 0: strange(?): /usr/sfw/bin/gtar: /usr/local/var/am anda/gnutar-lists/bioqq5_biotera1_rna_0.new: Cannot open: Permission denied Which is found in the following debug file. # more /tmp/amanda/client/flower/amgtar.20100225232708.debug 1267158428.024917: amgtar: pid 9918 ruid 110 euid 110 version 2.6.1p1: start at Thu Feb 25 23:27:08 2010 1267158428.025079: amgtar: version 2.6.1p1-20091023 1267158428.026444: amgtar: pid 9918 ruid 110 euid 110 version 2.6.1p1: rename at Thu Feb 25 23:27:08 2010 1267158428.026476: amgtar: GNUTAR-PATH /usr/sfw/bin/gtar 1267158428.026485: amgtar: GNUTAR-LISTDIR /usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists 1267158428.026492: amgtar: DIRECTORY /biotera1/rna/.zfs/snapshot/amanda-_biotera 1_rna-current 1267158428.026499: amgtar: ONE-FILE-SYSTEM yes 1267158428.026506: amgtar: SPARSE yes 1267158428.026513: amgtar: ATIME-PRESERVE no 1267158428.026519: amgtar: CHECK-DEVICE yes 1267158428.026525: amgtar: SIZE ^ *Total bytes written: [0-9][0-9]* 1267158428.026532: amgtar: IGNORE : Directory is new$ 1267158428.026538: amgtar: IGNORE : Directory has been renamed 1267158428.026545: amgtar: NORMAL ^could not open conf file 1267158428.026551: amgtar: NORMAL ^Elapsed time: 1267158428.026557: amgtar: NORMAL ^Throughput 1267158428.026563: amgtar: NORMAL : socket ignored$ 1267158428.026569: amgtar: NORMAL : File .* shrunk by [0-9][0-9]* bytes, padding with zeros 1267158428.026575: amgtar: NORMAL : Cannot add file .*: No such file or director y$ 1267158428.026581: amgtar: NORMAL : Error exit delayed from previous errors 1267158428.050553: amgtar: pipespawnv: stdoutfd is 1 1267158428.050794: amgtar: Spawning "/usr/sfw/bin/gtar /usr/sfw/bin/gtar --creat e --verbose --file - --directory /biotera1/rna/.zfs/snapshot/amanda-_biotera1_rn a-current --one-file-system --listed-incremental /usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-li sts/bioqq5_biotera1_rna_0.new --sparse --ignore-failed-read --totals ." in pipel ine 1267158428.081782: amgtar: 0: strange(?): /usr/sfw/bin/gtar: /usr/local/var/am anda/gnutar-lists/bioqq5_biotera1_rna_0.new: Cannot open: Permission denied 1267183192.251690: amgtar: 78: size(|): Total bytes written: 328823756800 (3 07GiB, 13MiB/s) 1267183192.251828: amgtar: 0: strange(?): /usr/sfw/bin/gtar: Exiting with fail ure status due to previous errors 1267183192.414471: amgtar: after /usr/sfw/bin/gtar /biotera1/rna wait 1267183192.414483: amgtar: amgtar: /usr/sfw/bin/gtar: pid 9919 1267183192.414492: amgtar: /usr/sfw/bin/gtar exited with status 2: see /tmp/aman da/client/flower/amgtar.20100225232708.debug1267183192.414507: amgtar: sendbacku p: size 321116950 1267183192.414517: amgtar: sendbackup: end However I do see that these files do get created. # ls -las /usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists/ total 32 16 drwxr-xr-x 2 amanda sys 512 Feb 25 23:26 . 16 drwxr-xr-x 3 amanda sys 512 Feb 10 14:07 .. 0 -rw------- 1 amanda sys 0 Feb 25 15:54 bioqq5_biotera1_0.new 0 -rw------- 1 amanda sys 0 Feb 25 23:26 bioqq5_biotera1_rna_0.new I am attempting to dump with dumptype zfs-snapshots, which I have working on several other amanda servers/clients. I do see that the snapshot files are created as expected. I initially had issues with amanda running correctly because /usr/local is on a remote system, but we have it mounting with suid set and backups do seem to initiate. [We added the suid attribute was added to the auto_local entry in our ldap server] Able to send additional logs, but didn't want to have too cluttered an initial email. thank you, Brian --- Brian R Cuttler brian.cutt...@wadsworth.org Computer Systems Support (v) 518 486-1697 Wadsworth Center (f) 518 473-6384 NYS Department of Health Help Desk 518 473-0773 IMPORTANT NOTICE: This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential or sensitive information which is, or may be, legally privileged or otherwise protected by law from further disclosure.
