is there a way, in the amanda.conf file, to specify *NOT* to use the holding-disk for a particular filesystem?
for example, if i use amanda to backup 8 filesystems on one box and i want 7 to use the holding-disk, but one not to.. is that possible? just curious.. -edwin -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Reyer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 9:24 AM To: Pedro Aguayo Cc: Rivera, Edwin; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: ["data write: File too large"] On Tue, Jan 15, 2002 at 09:14:33AM -0500, Pedro Aguayo wrote: > But, I think Edwin doesn't have this problem, meaning he says he doesn't > have a file larger than 2gb. I had none, either, but the filesystem was dumped into a file as a whole, leading to a huge file, same with tar. The problem only occurs as holding-disk is used. Continuously writing a stream of unlimited size to a tape is no problem, but as soon as you try to do this onto a filesytem, you run in whatever limits you have, mostly 2GB-limits on a single file. No holding-disk -> no big file -> no problem. (well, tape might have to stop more often because of interruption in data-flow) Regards, Adrian Reyer -- Adrian Reyer Fon: +49 (7 11) 2 85 19 05 LiHAS - Servicebuero Suttgart Fax: +49 (7 11) 5 78 06 92 Adrian Reyer & Joerg Henner GbR Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux, Netzwerke, Consulting & Support http://lihas.de/
