Hi guys, I've got my configuration mostly sorted out now, so it's doing what I want it to. However, I've got a question about some weird behavior I'm seeing on my AMANDA server. I'm using the srvcompress option because the servers I'm backing up from are rather slow, and when backing up, I see the following on the AMANDA server:
9675 ? S 0:00 \_ /USR/SBIN/CRON 9676 ? Ss 0:00 \_ /bin/sh /usr/sbin/amdump weekly 9685 ? S 0:01 \_ /usr/lib/amanda/driver weekly 9686 ? S 4:24 \_ taper weekly 9687 ? S 0:59 | \_ taper weekly 9699 ? S 9:45 \_ dumper0 weekly 10629 ? S 96:19 | \_ /bin/gzip --fast 10630 ? S 0:00 | \_ /bin/gzip --best 9700 ? S 6:52 \_ dumper1 weekly 10086 ? S 149:32 | \_ /bin/gzip --fast 10087 ? S 0:21 | \_ /bin/gzip --best 9701 ? S 0:00 \_ dumper2 weekly 9702 ? S 0:00 \_ dumper3 weekly Now, why oh why is it doing *two* gzip operations on each set of data!? It looks like the gzip --best isn't actually getting that much running time, so is there something going on here that's faking me out, and it isn't *actually* gzipping everything twice? :) Graeme -- Graeme Humphries ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Linux Administrator VCom Inc.
