Hello, I've finally got to install amanda-2.6.0p2 on a system going soon into production and while getting used to the new features and I noticed a few things that have changed since 2.5.x :
- I use amtoc after a dump ends to get stats on what was written on tape and noticed that it doesn't parse correctly the log files and the toc files end up not showing what was written on tape. Looking at the source I believe that this is due to the fact that amtoc doesn't parse lines that start with 'PART' as the new log format seems to use compared to 'CHUNK' in pre-2.6.x. - amstatus doesn't show which tape(s) is being used and how much data been written to it so far, a useful feature when I want to check that a flush is being done correctly when using a changer with 'runtapes>1' - As I posted a few days ago, amreport doesn't report correctly the aggragated transfer rate to tape beyond 99.99MiBs... - The new version features 'device_output_buffer_size' that replaces 'tapebufs'. Any hint on a ballpark figure for this? Right now I have set it to 8192k (I use a blocksize=2048k) but I really don't know if I overshooting with this...the server has 32GB of memory btw. Thank you for the amazing work you guys are doing! jf -- <° >< Jean-François Malouin McConnell Brain Imaging Centre System/Network Administrator Montréal Neurological Institute 3801 Rue University, Suite WB219, Montréal, Québec, H3A 2B4, Canada
