Hi,
I've have this seemingly simple problem but I can't put my finger on
it :)
I just installed amanda-3.3.0 on a new server and amanda doesn't seem
to use the holding disk: it port-dumps directly to tape and if I
specify 'holdingdisk required' in the dumptype the run simply fails:
define holdingdisk holddisk {
directory /holddisk/charm
use -50Gb
chunksize 0
}
define dumptype app-amgtar-span {
global
program APPLICATION
application app-amgtar
priority high
allow-split
holdingdisk required
compress none
}
Permissions are ok for /holddisk/charm.
I've attached the amdump log file. I can provide more debug upon
request.
amdump log has this:
driver: flush size 0
find diskspace: not enough diskspace. Left with 1277107616 K
driver: state time 1642.093 free kps: 1024000 space: 0 taper: idle

The tapetype definition is:

Re: holding disk not used?
* u...@3.am u...@3.am [20110817 11:54]:
It appears that you are telling amanda to use -50GB of space for your holding
diskwhy would you want a negative number?
from the man page:
use int
Default: 0 Gb. Amount of space that can be used in this holding disk
area.
If the value is zero, all available space on the file system is
used.
If the value is negative, Amanda will use all available space minus
that
value.
I tested using the default value with the same result:
driver: pid 9802 ruid 111 euid 111 version 3.3.0: start at Wed Aug 17 11:36:39
2011
driver: pid 9802 ruid 111 euid 111 version 3.3.0: rename at Wed Aug 17 11:36:39

driver: find_diskspace: want 1277107616 K

and it stops there.

Re: holding disk not used?
On Wednesday, August 17, 2011 12:58:46 PM u...@3.am did opine:
It appears that you are telling amanda to use -50GB of space for your
holding diskwhy would you want a negative number?
That _used_ to be (could have been changed in the last 2-3 years) how one
would specify the use of all available holdingdisk capacity until there is
only 50Gb left, do you have that much available after the reserved is
subtracted?
It also might be that somehow the reserved is 100%, meaning save it all for
emergency no tape(s) available use.
Mine us configured as:

hello,
what does amcheck -l say? You usually get output like this:
backup@tobak012:~$ amcheck DailySet -l
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-
Holding disk /backup/tapes/raid001/holdingdisk_DailySet: 43416 MB disk space
available, using 17816 MB
NOTE: skipping tape checks
Server check took 0.001 seconds
(brought to you by Amanda 3.3.0)
If something is wrong with the holdingdisk, it should appear right there.

Bingo! Thanks, that put me on the right path:
~# su amanda -c /opt/amanda/sbin/amcheck -l charm
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-
NOTE: skipping tape checks
NOTE: host info dir /opt/amanda/usr/adm/amanda/charm/curinfo/gaspar does not
exist
NOTE: it will be created on the next run.
NOTE: index dir /opt/amanda/usr/adm/amanda/charm/index/gaspar does not exist

I think I got it now.
The amanda.conf used the following holding disk definition:
define holdingdisk holddisk {
directory /holddisk/charm
use -50Gb
chunksize 0
}
So I changed it to:
holdingdisk holddisk {
directory /holddisk/charm
use -50Gb
chunksize 0
}
and now the amcheck outputs:
~# su amanda -c /opt/amanda/sbin/amcheck -l charm
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-
Holding disk /holddisk/charm: 4004264 MB disk space available, using 3953064 MB
NOTE: skipping tape checks
NOTE: host info dir /opt/amanda/usr/adm/amanda/charm/curinfo/gaspar does not
exist
NOTE: it will be created on the next run.
NOTE: index dir /opt/amanda/usr/adm/amanda/charm/index/gaspar does not exist
NOTE: it will be created on the next run.

amdump is now writing to the hold disk.
thanks again!
