No that pretty much is still a problem. One more advantage of using Amanda backups, because it tends to track the space used on the holding disk and if necessary wait until some dumps to are spooled to tape, or if the tapestreamer is unavailable it tries to make fewer (or no) full dumps to reduce disk usage. > 00:05:58 GetVolObj: Volume (1000052) already write locked > 00:05:58 GrabFsObj, GetVolObj error Resource temporarily unavailable ... 28 more times. This is kind of strange I guess the cloning is taking so long that the backup server times out and retries the lock/backup sequence. > 00:09:33 NewDump: file /vice/backup/7f000004.1000005.newlist volnum 7f000004 id It actually looks like it is nicely iterating over all the volumes, eventhough the actual dumps are failing because of lack of diskspace. There is no real indication why (or even that) the server got stuck. Maybe there is an errant 'close(fd)' in the failure path that accidentally closed the network socket.
