Amanda 3.3.4 Hi,
Seems like I'm having trouble getting amanda to use my holding disk. Here's my setup in amanda.conf: define holdingdisk holdingdisk1 { directory "/mnt/amanda-holdingdisk1/" use 4500Gb chunksize 100Gb } define dumptype gui-base { global program "GNUTAR" comment "gui base dumptype dumped with tar" compress none index yes maxdumps 2 max-warnings 100 allow-split true #Stauffer. Default is true. holdingdisk yes #Stauffer. Default is auto. } When I run amcheck, it's not giving me any msg regarding holding disk, positive or negative. A few things I've seen online have shown amcheck reporting on holding disk status. My tapetype has this: #settings for splitting/spanning part_size 190G # about 1/10 of tape size - should be used when using holding disk # these should be used when no holding disk is used - but cache size determines # part size (AFAIK), and lots of small parts in a dump is said to be inefficient part_cache_type memory part_cache_max_size 12G I ran a level 0 dump and saw this: USAGE BY TAPE: Label Time Size % DLEs Parts 000406-jet1 21:21 2152G 152.1 2 181 000407-jet1 7:17 660G 46.6 1 56 which looks to me like parts of 12G, close to my 14G cache size. Do I need to do something else to tell amanda to use my holding disk? Thanks. -M
