Hi everyone,
I have some directories that contain both files and subdirectories, some of which are larger than my tape size (DLT8000: 40Gb). For example: # pwd /home/bart/projXXX # ls total 52k drwxrwxrwx 5 bart users 4.0k May 16 15:15 calmm5/ drwxrwxrwx 23 bart users 4.0k May 16 17:01 MM5/ -rwxrwxrwx 1 bart users 1.7k Jan 14 16:30 tovis5d.csh* # du -csh * 4.0G calmm5 41G MM5 4.0k tovis5d.csh 44G total So I can't add /home/bart/projXXX to the disklist: it's larger than a tape. But if I add /home/bart/projXXX/calmm5 /home/bart/projXXX/MM5 /home/bart/projXXX/tovis5d.csh to the disklist, then (I think) gtar will fail on the last entry, since it's not a directory. Can I have to have a separate version of the call to gtar that does not recurse into the subdirectories? I'm not sure if amanda can have two versions of the call to gtar. Any workarounds you can suggest would be greatly appreciated Bart -- Bart Brashers MFG Inc.
