I just upgraded from 2.4.4p3-2 to 2.5.0 (I need to use calsize to handle
a Network Appliance filer). My short test backup worked fine, but when
I ran my usual backup last night, amanda skipped more than half my DLE's
because it thought it didn't have room on the tape.
It failed for some of the DLE's that use calcsize but also for my old
"normal" tar based DLE's, and what's more, a bunch of the skipped
entries are tiny, like 1KB.
I have a SDLT320 tape drive and amanda reports only 37% of the tape
used, so it appears that something is really wrong.
I used my old amanda.conf with the addition of creating a new dumptype
to use calcsize as the only change.
I'm gonna go through the debug files in detail next.
If anyone has any ideas I'd sure like to hear them.
thanks
