I'm using amanda for backups, and this friday I got a strange error: ----------------------------------------------------- FAILED AND STRANGE DUMP DETAILS: /-- trumpet.pa /slask lev 2 FAILED [data timeout] sendbackup: start [trumpet.partitur.se:/slask level 2] sendbackup: info BACKUP=/sbin/dump sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/sbin/restore -f... - sendbackup: info end | DUMP: Date of this level 2 dump: Sat Jun 17 02:55:02 2000 | DUMP: Date of last level 1 dump: Tue Jun 13 02:51:07 2000 | DUMP: Dumping /dev/vinum/slask (/slask) to standard output | DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files] | DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories] | DUMP: estimated 1243 tape blocks. | DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories] | DUMP: dumping (Pass IV) [regular files] ?

It turned out that amanda was hanging around still trying to dump the filesystem. I'm stuck, it seems, and cannot even kill -9 the dump processes, and cannot mount the fs until the processes are dead. Here's the output of ps axvfU amanda: PID STAT TIME SL RE PAGEIN VSZ RSS LIM TSIZ %CPU %MEM COMMAND 17600 DL 0:00.55 212784 212792 0 1900 1552 - 228 0.0 0.4 dump 2ushf 1048576 0 - /dev/vinum/slask 17602 DL 0:00.52 212784 212792 0 1900 1552 - 228 0.0 0.4 dump 2ushf 1048576 0 - /dev/vinum/slask System is FreeBSD-4.0-STABLE (fresh). Amanda-2.4.1p1. Is there anything I can do, but rebooting, which I'd rather not do?
