Just double checked and no, record is set to yes: yorick /data/noel/noel1 { xfs-calc-100 } 2 define dumptype xfs-calc-100 { global program "DUMP" priority high compress none maxdumps 4 estimate CALCSIZE } define dumptype global { comment "Global definitions" index yes record yes } There is even stranger stuff that I just noticed: sendsize[1930073]: estimate size for /data/mril/mril5/bojana/images level 0: 35142619 KB sendsize[1930073]: estimate size for /data/mril/mril5/bojana/images level 1: 13554 KB sendsize[1930073]: estimate size for /data/mril/mril5/bojana/images level 2: 13554 KB But the amdump log reports that : driver: result time 31411.774 from dumper0: DONE 01-00040 35153370 35153370 6180 [sec 6179.877 kb 35153370 kps 5688.4 orig-kb 35153370] driver: finished-cmd time 31412.169 dumper0 dumped yorick:/data/mril/mril5/bojana/images driver: send-cmd time 31412.170 to taper: FILE-WRITE 00-00041 /holddisk/conf2/stk_40/20060725031507/yorick._data_mril_mril5_bojana_images.1 yorick fffffeff9ffe7f /data/mril/mril5/bojana/images 1 20060725 D0 I see correctly that 35153370kb made it to tape which a tad bit more than the level 0 estimate?
