I have finally felt brave enough to try installing F7 on my backup
server. I copied in the working FC6 amanda configuration, and diffed
it against the provided sample. As far as I can tell the setup should
work. However, I get a "no ACK" error message:
--------------------------------------------------
[root@charlesc ~]# su - amanda
-bash-3.2$ /usr/sbin/amcheck DailySet1
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /crc/back/amanda: 95 GB disk space available, using 30 GB as requested
slot 12: read label `DailySet1_12', date `20070620'
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Tape DailySet1_12 label ok
Server check took 0.232 seconds
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: charlesc.localdomain: selfcheck request failed: timeout waiting for ACK
Client check: 3 hosts checked in 30.148 seconds, 1 problem found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.5.1p3)
--------------------------------------------------
charlesc is both server and client. I get ACKs from other clients on
the net. nf_conntrack_amanda is installed:
--------------------------------------------------
[root@charlesc ~]# lsmod | grep amanda
nf_conntrack_amanda 9088 0
nf_conntrack 61576 9 nf_conntrack_tftp,nf_conntrack_amanda,ipt_MASQUERADE,iptable_nat,nf_nat,nf_conntrack_ftp,nf_conntrack_netbios_ns,nf_conntrack_ipv4,xt_state
--------------------------------------------------
xinetd is running, and the amanda service looks like so:
--------------------------------------------------
[root@charlesc ~]# cat /etc/xinetd.d/amanda
# default: off
# description: The client for the Amanda backup system.\
# This must be on for systems being backed up\
# by Amanda.
service amanda
{
disable = no
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = amanda
group = disk
server = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad
# Configure server_args for the authentication type you will be using,
# and the services you wish to allow the amanda server and/or recovery
# clients to use.
#
# Change the -auth= entry to reflect the authentication type you use.
# Add amindexd to allow recovery clients to access the index database.
# Add amidxtaped to allow recovery clients to access the tape device.
# server_args = -auth=bsd amdump
}
--------------------------------------------------
I commented out the "server_args" line; it does not seem to make a
difference.
Relevant portions of the firewall, which is also copied over from the
known working FC6 installation:
--------------------------------------------------
# Amanda ports
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 10080 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m state --state NEW -m udp --dport 10080 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 10082 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 10083 -j ACCEPT
--------------------------------------------------
Packages installed are:
--------------------------------------------------
[root@charlesc ~]# pre amanda
amanda-client-2.5.1p3-1.fc7
amanda-server-2.5.1p3-1.fc7
amanda-2.5.1p3-1.fc7
