We are very confused this morning.
This report says "short write", usually I take that to mean that we filled up the tape and we probably need to perfrom a flush. However we have numbers in all the coluns have numbers which always indicates to me that we wrote the dumps to tape (well, except for one partition that outright failed). And the holding area is empty. Can you explain what really happened here ? These messages seem contradictory to me, could be that they are, could be I've misunderstood their meanings. Please help us unravel this mystery. thanks, Brian ----- Forwarded message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Sep 5 04:57:33 2002 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 5 Sep 2002 04:57:11 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: NEWTON_DLT AMANDA MAIL REPORT FOR September 4, 2002 X-MailScanner: Found to be clean *** THE DUMPS DID NOT FINISH PROPERLY! *** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [[writing file: short write]]. *** PERFORMED ALL DUMPS TO HOLDING DISK.
