I suddenly realised that I have a lot of dump directories on my holding disk, even though dumps have generally been successful. The below "amflush" output should illustrate this.


-sh-2.05b$ /usr/sbin/amflush ks Scanning /dumps/amanda/hd... 20030731: found Amanda directory. 20030730: found Amanda directory. 20030725: found Amanda directory. 20030729: found Amanda directory. 20030728: found Amanda directory. 20030709: found Amanda directory. 20030812: found Amanda directory. 20030811: found Amanda directory. 20030801: found Amanda directory. 20030807: found Amanda directory. 20030806: found Amanda directory. 20030805: found Amanda directory. 20030804: found Amanda directory. 20030808: found Amanda directory. Multiple Amanda directories, please pick one by letter: A. 20030709 B. 20030725 C. 20030728 D. 20030729 E. 20030730 F. 20030731 G. 20030801 H. 20030804 I. 20030805 J. 20030806 K. 20030807 L. 20030808 M. 20030811 N. 20030812 Select directories to flush [A..N]: [ALL]


When I say "generally successful", what I mean is that there haven't been any major problems lately, but DLEs will occasionally fail to fit on the current tape. If they do, they are flushed automatically via the "autoflush" option. In any case, closer inspection reveals that the directories don't contain real data; a full listing of the files is included below.


Does anyone know what is causing this? I'm using amanda-2.4.4p1 on Red Hat Linux 9.
