I had time to investigate a little further this morning. Still no go.
Here is an example using only 1 DLE in the disklist.
~# su amanda -c "~amanda/sbin/flush-and-log.sh down"
"/opt/amanda-3.3.2/etc/amanda/down/disklist", line 1: disk dumptype
'app-amgtar-span' not found
amflush: errors processing config file
Use of uninitialized value $OF in ref-to-glob cast at /opt/amanda/sbin/amtoc
line 48, <IF> line 157.
ERROR: while ejecting volume: Tape device /dev/nst0 is not ready or is empty
(btw, /opt/amanda-3.3.2 points to /opt/amanda, the homedir of the user
'amanda'.
The little flush script and other info followsâ”
~# cat ~amanda/sbin/flush-and-log.sh
#!/bin/sh
conf="$1"
if [ "$conf" = "" ]; then
echo "you must provide a config name as an argument!"
exit 1
else
/opt/amanda/sbin/amflush -f -b -oflush-threshold-dumped=0
-oflush-threshold-scheduled=0 -otaperflush=0 $conf
logdir=`/opt/amanda/sbin/amgetconf $conf logdir`
log=`ls -1t $logdir/log.*.[0-9] | head -1`
/opt/amanda/sbin/amtoc -t -a $log
/opt/amanda/sbin/amtape $conf eject
fi
The disklist ~amanda/etc/amanda/down/disklist: (edited to include only one DLE)
tutor /raid/data8 app-amgtar-span
The dumptype 'app-amgtar-span' is defined in the files included in amanda.conf:
includefile "/opt/amanda/common/applications.conf"
includefile "/opt/amanda/common/dumptype.conf"
/opt/amanda/common/applications.conf:
define application-tool "app-amgtar" {
plugin "amgtar"
property "CHECK-DEVICE" "NO"
property "IGNORE" ": Directory is new$"
property append "IGNORE" ": Directory has been renamed"
property append "IGNORE" ": file changed as we read it$"
property append "IGNORE" ": socket ignored$"
property append "IGNORE" ": Cannot stat: No such file or directory$"
}
/opt/amanda/common/dumptype.conf:
define dumptype "app-amgtar-span" {
"global"
program "APPLICATION"
application "app-amgtar"
priority high
allow-split
holdingdisk required
compress none
comment "tape-spanning user partitions dumped with amgtar"
}
In the end it boils down to:
~# su amanda -c "~amanda/sbin/amadmin down disklist"
line 1 (/opt/amanda/etc/amanda/down/disklist):
