Hello Amanda users, I'm running 2.4.2p2 on an SGI with a jukebox/SDLT. I've divided a multiterrabyte drive into tar dumps but one of the users occupies close to 200 gig of space.
While I could probably find a way to subdivide the files under that directory (we've already requested that the user break their files, some 250+ Gig, into both /usr5/joy and the new /usr5/joy2) we have the added problem of limited work area. Because the DLE dumps direct-to-tape beccause of limited work area we will likely hit EOF and amanda will have to restart the tar after advancing to the next tape in the jukebox. [As determined by prior discussion on this list] Does amanda already know if the DLE will not fit and advance the tape proactively or will it try to fill the tape and then restart if it failes to completely write it ? If not is there a way to force a new tape prior to starting this DLE ? I'd also like to save this DLE for last, how is that best accomplished ? thank you, Brian --- Brian R Cuttler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Computer Systems Support (v) 518 486-1697 Wadsworth Center (f) 518 473-6384 NYS Department of Health Help Desk 518 473-0773
