I'm setting up an new machine to replace an existing Amanda server. The exisiting machine is HP-UX 10.20, and Amanda is compiled on it with largefule support.
This machine will be backinbg up (among other machines) some HP's that have failry large (18G) filesystems. There will also be individual files on these machines that exced 2G The new machine presently has Linux kernel 2.2.19pre17 (Debian stable). I eventually intend to run Oracle on this machien, and I know thta I can get it to run with this kernel. So, here's teh question. What willl Amanda do with the learge filesystem/files? Will it automaticly split them? Will this make restoreing/recovering more dificult? I'm debaing whether or not I need to upgrade to a version of Linux with largefile support. The new Amanda serve has 3 40G drives, if it matters. If I need to upgrade, can anyone give me some advice on the best Debian way to do this? -- Stan Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] 843-745-3154 Charleston SC. -- Windows 98: n. useless extension to a minor patch release for 32-bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor, written by a 2-bit company that can't stand for 1 bit of competition. - (c) 2000 Stan Brown.
