Only if you're in a time warp and living about a decade in the future :-).
My guess is you're trying to upgrade from 2.3, but I never ran that
(it was years and years ago).
Your original question was:
What is the "right" way to configure disksize with multiple
spool areas ?
If those keywords do what I think they do, it would be something like this
(see the amanda(8) man page for all the details):
holdingdisk hold1 {
directory "/usr4/amanda/work"
use 3000 MB
}
holdingdisk hold2 {
directory "/usr22/amanda/work"
use 2000 MB
}
If you're really moving from 2.3 to 2.4+, there are other issues.
You may want to give the amanda(8) man page and the other Amanda docs
(including "the chapter" at www.backupcentral.com/amanda.html) a good
read. Also, 2.3 clients cannot talk to a 2.4 server (and vice versa).
A protocol change makes them incompatible, so you'll have to upgrade
everything in a particular configuration at the same time.
