all, I have got a weird problem and cant figure out whats wrong.
I get an error during a dump: FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: lalalalala /samba lev 1 FAILED [dump larger than tape, 10101550 KB, skipping incremental] so that means its 10.1GB, correct? (The tape is only 4/8gb, but thats not the questions here). Yet when I do a "du -s ." inside that /samba directory: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /samba] #>du -s . 5.3G . Thats HALF of what amanda is trying to backup! I have no idea where the 5GB comes from amanda is trying to dump. Does Amanda follow symlinks? I thought it does not! I have two symlinks in there, which COULD encount for the incorrect sizes: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /samba] #>find -lname "*" -exec ls -la {} \; lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Oct 8 17:20 ./Shares/SysAdmins/home -> /home/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct 8 17:20 ./Shares/SysAdmins/Profiles -> /samba/Profiles/ I use these (if I am on a windows box and logged in as SysAdmin) to fiddle with users profiles or with users home directories. -- Computers run on smoke, once the smoke gets out they don't work anymore! __, Jobst Schmalenbach, Technical Director _ _.--'-n_/ Barrett Consulting Group P/L & The Meditation Room P/L -(_)------(_)= +61 3 9532 7677, POBox 277, Caulfield South, 3162, Australia
