I do not see how that can be involved, it doesn't run until amanda is
finished, I even leave time for the disks to sync before it runs.

Its random Jon, and this problem actually precedes the fire in an onboard
usb port on the old asus phenom mobo, which was replaced with another
asus x370 which now carries a 6 core I5 and 32gigs of dram. It existed
with a spinning rust holding disk, and replacing it with an SSD of
240Gigs also replaced the cable. And the original amandatapes drive of
1Tbyte was replaced with a 2Tbyte, along with a new cable since this
problem stated. I was maybe 1 time a month and now has become a twice a
week problem. And its gotten worse with a perl upgrade by stretch about
90 days back. Looking at the file sizes of the failures put
in /amandatapes and then redoes, they are often exactly the same size,
but the diffs are bigger than the files. And the redone backups headers
never contain the *-CRC entries.
Since I have the src's, I am half tempted to go back to 3.3.1.p7. But it
won't build now, a perl error IIRC. But let me check.
configure is fine, make fails:
glib-util.c:68:20: fatal error: gcrypt.h: No such file or directory
#include <gcrypt.h>
^
compilation terminated.
Makefile:2362: recipe for target 'glib-util.lo' failed

So lets try 3.4.3: but added --without-ipv6 to the config and its
building ok so far. Getting rid of ipv6 locally has been a problem but
there is not a workng ipv6 here in West Virginia within 120 miles of the
far side of my router. 3.4.3 builds, 3.3.7p1 still won't because of the
crypt error. So I'll try a rebuild without ipv6 support, of 3.5.1 just
for shits and grins.
And I've forgot if amanda needs a make setuid? amcheck fails with a bunch
of perms errors:
root@coyote:amanda-3.5.1$ su amanda -c "/usr/local/sbin/amcheck Daily"

(brought to you by Amanda 3.5.1)
but adding +x to ambind is a big mess. Now it wants rwsr-x--- perms.
mc doesn't seem to be able to satisfy that, so how is it done from the
cli????
Thanks cuz now I am completely screwed.
