#Congratulations on a successful amdump! Wow, tell you what I am so happy to see those words! Thanks much!
By the time I saw your reply, I had impatiently split my single DLE into 9 DLEs which also includes the last one for excluding all 8 DLEs on the top. I did see same message again in the amdump summary : taper: Will request retry of failed split part. taper: tape TEST-1 kb 9845830 fm 15 [OK] taper: tape TEST-2 kb 6661060 fm 7 [OK] But now that I read your reply, I think it just doesn't mean a lot as long as I see OK below that particular message. Here is full DUMP summary : These dumps were to tapes TEST-1, TEST-2. The next 6 tapes Amanda expects to use are: 6 new tapes. The next 6 new tapes already labelled are: TEST-3, TEST-4, TEST-5, TEST-6, TEST-7, TEST-8 STATISTICS: Total Full Incr. -------- -------- -------- Estimate Time (hrs:min) 0:10 Run Time (hrs:min) 1:51 Dump Time (hrs:min) 1:38 1:38 0:00 Output Size (meg) 16120.0 16120.0 0.0 Original Size (meg) 30661.6 30661.6 0.0 Avg Compressed Size (%) 52.6 52.6 -- Filesystems Dumped 9 9 0 Avg Dump Rate (k/s) 2809.3 2809.3 -- Tape Time (hrs:min) 0:17 0:17 0:00 Tape Size (meg) 16120.0 16120.0 0.0 Tape Used (%) 157.4 157.4 0.0 Filesystems Taped 9 9 0 Parts Taped 22 22 0 Avg Tp Write Rate (k/s) 16506.9 16506.9 -- USAGE BY TAPE: Label Time Size % Nb Nc TEST-1 0:10 10485219k 100.0 8 15 TEST-2 0:07 6661060k 63.5 2 7 NOTES: planner: Adding new disk TEST.domain.com:/bk/location/./apple2007. planner: Adding new disk TEST.domain.com:/bk/location/./apple2008. planner: Adding new disk TEST.domain.com:/bk/location/./apple2009. planner: Adding new disk TEST.domain.com:/bk/location/./apple2010. planner: Adding new disk TEST.domain.com:/bk/location/./pear2008. planner: Adding new disk TEST.domain.com:/bk/location/./pear2009. planner: Adding new disk TEST.domain.com:/bk/location/./pear2010. planner: Adding new disk TEST.domain.com:/bk/location/./other. planner: Adding new disk TEST.domain.com:/bk/location/./_rest_. taper: Will request retry of failed split part. taper: tape TEST-1 kb 9845830 fm 15 [OK] taper: tape TEST-2 kb 6661060 fm 7 [OK] big estimate: TEST.domain.com /bk/location/./apple2007 0 est: 244128k out 119306k big estimate: TEST.domain.com /bk/location/./apple2009 0 est: 834272k out 521751k big estimate: TEST.domain.com /bk/location/./apple2010 0 est: 3646880k out 2857940k DUMP SUMMARY: DUMPER STATS TAPER STATS HOSTNAME DISK L ORIG-kB OUT-kB COMP% MMM:SS KB/s MMM:SS KB/s -------------------------- ------------------------------------- -------------- TEST.domain.co -u/./_rest_ 0 2981200 2155287 72.3 7:25 4838.8 2:05 17242.3 TEST.domain.co -./apple2007 0 488140 119306 24.4 1:40 1188.0 0:06 19884.3 TEST.domain.co -./apple2008 0 6484400 3803120 58.7 28:08 2253.5 4:23 14460.5 TEST.domain.co -./apple2009 0 1668440 521751 31.3 3:17 2642.9 0:29 17991.4 TEST.domain.co -./apple2010 0 7308970 2857940 39.1 22:30 2117.1 2:46 17216.5 TEST.domain.co -tu/./other 0 5833440 3828839 65.6 18:01 3542.5 3:44 17093.0 TEST.domain.co -pear2008 0 88010 46283 52.6 0:23 2040.3 0:02 23141.5 TEST.domain.co -pear2009 0 4127930 1932585 46.8 9:16 3475.2 1:53 17102.5 TEST.domain.co -pear2010 0 2416990 1241776 51.4 7:15 2853.0 1:12 17246.9 (brought to you by Amanda version 3.1.1) Now I am thinking about, removing runtapes option completely, and add splitdisk_buffer option to the holding disk, I am confused about one thing, why you mentioned that "looks like your splits are about 0.5GB. " I have actually set tape_splitsize = 1Gb although I do have fallback_splitsize = 512MB . Do you mean I should grow this value to a higher value or you said that about tape_splitsize value? Other than this, your explanation was really informative and thanks again for that. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by upendra.gan...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +----------------------------------------------------------------------
