Jean-Louis, googled it... I had my numbers wrong, it can supposedly hold 800 Gig, and with HW compression up to 2x that. I should not have to adjust the tape length and no reason (that I can see) for dumps to take more than one tape.
Its odd that I'm not seeing an end of media error message... I think I need to run a cleaning tape and keep an eye on this. thank you, Brian On Wed, Jan 08, 2014 at 10:57:22AM -0500, Jean-Louis Martineau wrote: > On 01/08/2014 10:47 AM, Brian Cuttler wrote: > >Jean-Louis, > > > >Good question, especially as I badly misspoke. > > > >The tape is not DLT IV, it is LTO IV, I used the standard > >tape type definition, provided, as I would not have used > >such a specific number. > > > >define tapetype LTO4 { > > comment "Dell LTO4 800Gb - Compression Off" > > length 802816 mbytes > > filemark 0 kbytes > > speed 52616 kps > >} > > > >I am not using HW compression. > >I am using "compress client fast" for the dumptypes. > >All file systems are local to the host, we have a large > 255 > >DLE that are ZFS file systems. > > > >That being said - I think you are correct, I am using the > >wrong tape length. > > > >If they are LTO IV tapes, they hold 400 Gig, up to 800 G with > >HW compression, which we are not using... > > > > > > Q - Would it be correct to reset the tape length to 400 Gig ? > > no, you can write at least 603197M on a tape. > > Jean-Louis > > > > > thank you/rookie mistake, > > > > Brian > > > > > >On Wed, Jan 08, 2014 at 10:06:54AM -0500, Jean-Louis Martineau wrote: > >>Brian, > >> > >>Maybe you defined the tape larger than it is? > >>Are you sure the tape can hold 800000M of data? > >>Are you using hardware compression? > >> > >>Jean-Louis > >> > >>On 01/08/2014 09:13 AM, Brian Cuttler wrote: > >>>I'm not sure I understand this tape usage... 18% plus 75% < 100%, isn't > >>>it? > >>> > >>>Amanda 3.3.0 > >>>Solaris 10x86 > >>>tapes are DLT IV > >>> > >>>This, using a second tape, is new behaivor. > >>> > >>>I did try a newer amanda but the dump clients wouldn't die when > >>>they needed two, amanda never completed and required a lot of > >>>daily manual cleanup.
