Request to server timed out.

[Marc Muehlfeld]

Hello,

i have 10 servers i backup with amanda. On every server its running
fine, except on our fileserver. The status mail says something like:

FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
server /home/shares/Public lev 0 FAILED [Request to server timed
out.]
server /home/shares/Programs lev 0 FAILED [Request to server timed
out.]
server /home/shares/Departments lev 0 FAILED [Request to server
timed out.]
server /home/shares/Profiles lev 0 FAILED [Request to server timed
out.]
server /home lev 1 FAILED [Request to server timed out.]
server / lev 0 FAILED [Request to server timed out.]

The backupserver is not the same than the fileserver. Both are on the
same network (no firewall beween them). All filesystems on ever hosts
is backuped. Only on the fileserver is everyday one or more filesystem
not backed up because of this errors.

Yesterday no filesystem on this server was backed up. Amanda even
didn`t tried to connect to this server. xinetd had noch connection try
on our fileserver. The backup server also didnt log anything about a
try in /tmp/amanda/*.

And xinetd is running too. I also had restarted xinetd serveral times.
If i scan port 10083 from our backup server, it is marked as open.

Amcheck also says:
WARNING: server: selfcheck request timed out. Host down?
Client check: 10 hosts checked in 30.285 seconds, 1 problem found

Any ideas?

Best regards
Marc
