Hi, I need some clarification on Amanda Internals.
Driver will initiate the chunker process and driver will provide some information to the chunker process like name of the file for holding disk, hostname, level, datastamp etc., How the driver will send the information to the chunker? either through pipes ?I copied some lines from the amdump logfile. driver: send-cmd time 4.768 to chunker0: PORT-WRITE 00-00001 /home/20060705194408/hostname._home_amanda-2.5.0p1-20060428_server-src.1 hostname fffffeff9ffeffff07 /home/amanda-2.5.0p1-20060428/ server-src 1 2006:7:6:0:42:13 1048576 GNUTAR 6624 |;auth=BSD;no-record;index; chunker is trying to connect to one privileged port no. Driver will initiate the dumper process and driver will provide some information to dumper port no to connect(what chunker initiated for the particular port), hostname etc., driver: send-cmd time 4.778 to dumper0: PORT-DUMP 00-00001 784 hostname fffffeff9ffeffff07 /home/amanda-2.5.0p1-20060428/server-src NODEVICE 1 2006:7:6:0:42:13 GNUTAR |;auth=BSD;no-record;index; Is there any socket communication is required between the chunker and driver ? I got so much of confusion with the amdump.1 log file. The contents i am sending here from the log file chunker: stream_accept: connection from 127.0.0.1.45601 dumper: stream_client: connected to 127.0.0.1.784 chunker: try_socksize: receive buffer size is 32768 dumper: stream_client: our side is 0.0.0.0.45601 dumper: try_socksize: send buffer size is 65536 What is the significance of this. Please explain? Amandad log file is also having the information below: amandad: try_socksize: send buffer size is 65536 amandad: try_socksize: receive buffer size is 65536 I think the above two log information is interconnected, what kind of information is sending and receiving by dumper or chunker or amandad? I need these clarifications. Please help me out to understand these funda. Thanks & Regards, Silpakala __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
