Hi, I've got this amanda client (server and client at v2.4.5) with a 1.5TB raid splitted/chunked in ~70 DLEs (using gtar) and some of them don't make it to tape as the planner timeouts. Now, would someone be kind enough to jolt my memory as to what is the relationship between UDP packet size and the number/size of DLEs entries along with their exclude list? The FAQ mentions something about this (UDP packet size of 64Kb and "results missing") but that might not be quite up to date.
This raid partition has been splitted using quite a few 'exclude append "./blah"' in the disklist and I wonder if it would be better to have them in a file on the client side rather than explicitely in the disklist file per se. Would that make any difference at all regarding what get stuffed in the UDP packets at the estimate phase -- making them smaller -- so that I wouldn't hit that hard limit? I hope this makes sense :) TIA, jf
