Message-ID: <20030304153127.GG37397@procyon.firepipe.net> Mail-Followup-To: current@FreeBSD.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4i Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, Is anyone else here backing up -CURRENT machines using AMANDA? I've been noticing that the backups for these machines have what appear to be bad backups. That is to say, amverify gives things like this: [...] firepipe-3 (ganymede._.20030304.1): amrestore: 0: skipping start of tape: date 20030304 label firepipe-3 amrestore: 1: restoring ganymede._.20030304.1 gzip: stdin: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored amrestore: 2: reached end of information cannot open /dev/tty: Device not configured Tape is not a dump tape 64+0 in 64+0 out firepipe-3 (oberon._usr.20030304.2): amrestore: WARNING: not at start of tape, file numbers will be offset amrestore: 0: restoring oberon._usr.20030304.2 gzip: stdin: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored amrestore: 1: reached end of information cannot open /dev/tty: Device not configured Tape is not a dump tape 64+0 in 64+0 out [...] ganymede: FreeBSD ganymede.firepipe.net 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #2: Sun Mar 2 22:01:40 EST 2003 will@ganymede.firepipe.net:/net/ganymede/src/sys/i386/compile/GANYMEDE i386 oberon: FreeBSD oberon.firepipe.net 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #0: Tue Jan 14 01:19:15 EST 2003 will@oberon.firepipe.net:/usr/src/sys/sparc64/compile/OBERON sparc64 Ganymede runs Amanda 2.4.3 while oberon is running Amanda 2.4.4b1 due to 64-bit safeness fixes in that version. Note that I also back up three other machines (two 4.x/i386 and one Linux/mipsel) without a peep from amverify. Anyone know if maybe the dump format has been changed to the extent that it breaks Amanda or something? In fact, based on the "64+0" it appears that the header or something similar may have been broken. Or maybe Amanda is broken. I'm just looking for someone else who has already seen this behavior. Preferably someone else that knows what the issue is and how it might be fixed...
