Michael,
You define the holdingdisk but you don't tell amanda to use it.
Add:
holdingdisk "holdingdisk1"
after the define

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 7:17660G 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.
