Upgraded all systems to fc9. Was running amanda-2.5.2p1-8.fc8, now running amanda-2.5.2p1-10.fc9. Without any changes to config files from backups that worked under fc8, amstatus now returns driver: "port open: Resource temporarily unavailable" for all disks after estimates are complete (which are successful. Email report indicates the above as well as "chunker: FATAL startup_chunker failed". I can attach configs and logs, but I'm not sure which would be the most useful. I've been over the upstream docs several times, and even added an /etc/amanda/amanda-client.conf to each host, which I don't believe I had before, and nothing. Backups are totally non functional.
I was having the same problem. What I found from a Google search was that the unreserved-tcp-port was set to 0,0. Adding the line "unreserved-tcp-port 1025,65535" to amanda.conf got backups to working. Craig
according to http://archives.zmanda.com/amanda-archives/viewtopic.php?t=4176&sid=c1c71386059a46dee45dada40f588325 (see the post Fri Jun 13, 2008 11:00 am) this can be a bug in the /etc/services file for F9: it uses -or I'd rather say used- an entry for port 0 looking at my /etc/services from a freshly installed F9 (with updates), it seems this is already corrected Jon, does the problem still occur, when you update this file?
/etc/services, or /etc/amanda/***/amanda.conf? amanda.conf works. with the contents from #2. I show nothing for port 0 in my /etc/services.
OK, I will add --with-tcpportrange=1025,65535 to %configure options to prevent the default being 0,0
