getting estimates with gnuatr takes forever and then some.
Amanda also comes with a little tool called calcsizes that
1) seems to be fatser than gnutar
2) can do mutlipel estimates in one run.
Currently getting an estimate on the big disk takes 3 -4 hours
and that's mainly because for every levbel, a new gnutar is being run.
So to get estimates for a level 0, 1 and 2 run I see amanda doing
get gnutar estimate for level 0 (this takes over an hour)
when this has finished
get gnutar estimate for level 1 (this takes over an hour)
when this has finished
get gnutar estimate for level 2 (this takes over an hour)
total time, close to 4 hours.
using calcsize, I should be able to do something like
calcsize GNUTAR lto /whopper/home 0 0 1 980801273 2 980851273
and get the estimates for level 0 1 and 2 all at once.
So my question is,
How do I tell amanda to use calcsize ?
I didn't find anything in docs/* man/* or config/*
%grep calcsize docs/* man/* config/*
docs/WHATS.NEW:"calcsize" and "runtar" therefore must be installed setuid
root. I've made
If this is not possible, can this please be taken as a serious wishlist for
Amanda 2.5 ?
Also, if this is not possible, does anyone have any other suggestions on
getting a speedup on the estimates ?
The sendsize.c file menations a maxdumps= variable ..
How can this be set ?
Kind regards,
