Hello, I've been attempting to set up Amanda 2.4.4 on my system and have run into some problems.
As you all know, amanda cannot span large filesystems across multiple tapes. The typical work around is to segment the disklist entries so that amanda can back up the large file system in parts. Furthermore, sometime around March of 2002, Jean Louis Martineau, one of the amanda developers came up with a new way of doing this that makes it much simpler for a user to segment a filesystem into pieces. Below is an example disklist entry taken from the examples/disklist file: # An example of how to separate a big disk (/diskA) in multiple smaller entry # using GNUTAR. # I suggest to always use the diskdevice in the diskname. # Don't forget to use the same spindle for all entry. hosta /diskA/all /diskA { # all directories except the one that start with [a-u] high-tar exclude "./[a-u]*" } 1 hosta /diskA/ag /diskA { # all directories that start with [a-g] except big1 and big2 high-tar include "./[a-g]*" exclude "./big1" "./big2" } 1 As you can see, this is *very* useful. Anyway, my problem is that I am doing just this, but am running into the following error: pantera /home/depot-wz lev 0 FAILED [missing result for /home/depot-wz in pantera response] pantera /home/depot-sv lev 0 FAILED [missing result for /home/depot-sv in pantera response] pantera /home/depot-mr lev 0 FAILED [missing result for /home/depot-mr in pantera response] pantera /home/depot-gl lev 0 FAILED [missing result for /home/depot-gl in pantera response] pantera /home/depot-af lev 0 FAILED [missing result for /home/depot-af in pantera response] Upon looking in the amanda source to attempt to find out what's wrong, I found out that the planner did not receive a size estimate for each entry from the client. Why, I don't know, and hence the question I'm asking. Below are the corresponding entries in the 'disklist' file for my box. The boxes name is pantera ( I'm a car nut ). pantera /home/depot-af /home/depot { hard-disk-tar include "./[Aa-Ff]*" } 1 pantera /home/depot-gl /home/depot { hard-disk-tar include "./[Gg-Ll]*" } 1 pantera /home/depot-mr /home/depot { hard-disk-tar include "./[Mm-Rr]*" } 1 pantera /home/depot-sv /home/depot { hard-disk-tar include "./[Ss-Vv]*" } 1 pantera /home/depot-wz /home/depot { hard-disk-tar include "./[Ww-Zz]*" } 1 I would really appreciate any help offered.
