filesystem limit?

2004-03-16 Thread Geoff Swavley
Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me why amanda seems to split
my filesystem into 2 holding files? An error has occurred so these filesare
left on the disk. Here is the filesystem listing:
at the files:

465921 drwxr-xr-x   4 amanda   sys   512 Mar 17 00:45
/holding2/schedule8
2096641 drwx--   2 amanda   sys   512 Mar 13 05:22
/holding2/schedule8/20040312
209666 2301584 -rw---   1 amanda   sys  2355658752 Mar 13 05:22
/holding2/schedule8/20040312/pokolbin._u20.0.1

2038401 drwx--   2 amanda   sys   512 Mar 17 00:45
/holding2/schedule8/20040317

Has it got something to do with  a 32GB limit? What does the .1 and .0 refer
to?
Obviously the .1 ias the 2nd file of the filesystem??

thanks all. Here is the error email I received:

Re: filesystem limit?

2004-03-16 Thread Geoff Swavley
35GB AIT-1 tapes (Native) plus I also have compression on the
drives DISABLED (advice from the list about double compressing a file,
resulting in a larger file than what you started with). It has slowed down
the backups but the large (already compressed thanks to oracle) export
database files seem to fit on the tape now.

Those two files add up as follows:
2355658752+
32212254720
---
34567913472
---

and the filesystem is 33.7GB so it should just fit on:
-
HOST  FILESYSTEM  TOTAL  USED
pokolbin   /u2036144364  33701475
-
TOTALS:  36144364  33701475




Maybe I'm living too close to the edge? Maybe the tape is bad towards the end ...
I'll change the tape and try flushing again. Hm ... that's
3 tapes now and all with the same flush error:

I currently use CHS with solaris (all versions 2.6 - 2.8) ... but as I have
been discussing with the list   I only have binaries to run it in 32bit
mode. I can keep you posted Glenn on what I change to . I have had
a quick look at MTX and I am still trying to find chg-scsi!

Chs works well ... and if I had a preference I would continue using it as
our amanda setup with CHS has worked fine for 5 years  but no-one
seems to have the source code for a recompile into 64bit mode  so
I'll start looking at these others.

Let you know how I go.

Re: Strange DNS lookup problems ... I think ...

2004-03-07 Thread Geoff Swavley
hi all  ... thanks for the reply's so far 

I know the reverse lookups are fine (see original email) ... to add some
more info that might help, look at this weekends results  there are 8
filesystems in the schedule ... 8 of them work ... and ONE of them gets the
error ... one can only assume that maybe there is a DNS timeout in the
code. The other 7 worked fine. I know the host gets pretty loaded up ...
it's feeding 5 AIT tape drives and the disks are working at about 15-20MB /sec
when they are feeding the 5 tape drives. Maybe it's a timeout??

 Resolving IP address to a hostname (reverse lookup) is the part that
 looks broken, check the reverse domain in the DNS i.e.

 host 172.24.16.86

 The error says *hostname* lookup failed, not address lookup failed.
 Someone else reported a similar problem a few days ago, and he reported
 that there was a typo in the reverse domain file of the DNS, and that
 fixing that fixed the problem.

 I wonder though, Why does amanda need to do a reverse lookup?  You give
 amanda a hostname in the DLE, and it looks up the IP address, which
 should be adequate for amanda to do what it needs to do.  But then it
 tries to do a reverse lookup for the hostname based on the IP address,
 and gives up if that fails.

 It would be nice if the reverse lookup could be avoided.  In principle,
 yes, the reverse table in your DNS should be correct, but failing backup
 seems like an expensive DNS diagnostic.

Re: CHS tape robot management software

2004-03-07 Thread Geoff Swavley
hi all,

We purchased two Straightline SL850 tape robots 5 years ago. (5 x AIT-1
+ 50 slots). It emulates a whole host of mainstream products but we
choose the EXB-10e. Our vendor gave us the CHS software for SUN Solaris
unix with the purchase, so that shell scripts (and AMANDA!) could manipulate
the library robot without the need for trillion dollar software. Time goes by
... machines come and go and now
I seem to be stuck. We never received the source code and I have been
back to the vendor requesting it. Alas it seems those partnerships from long ago

have lapsed and they can't give me the source code.

The problem I have is that all of my hosts are now pretty much running
the 64bit Solaris  and the drivers are 32bit. All ultraSparc III chips
MUST run in 64 bit mode ... so I need the source to re-compile it.

Does anyone have the CHS source (I would not ask normally but my
vendor is unable to supply it). This is what I have:

windamere[115]% chs --version
chs: illegal option -- -
Unknown command
chs version 1.0
usage: chs [-f changername] command [-s slot] [-d drive] [-n label] [-l]

Strange DNS lookup problems ... I think ...

2004-03-04 Thread Geoff Swavley
hi All,

I run 25 schedules per night, and only 1 ... this one ... gives me some
heart-ache. I know it must be something other than DNS but all of the
error messages are trying to send me down that garden path. The amanda
host machine is windamere, and schedule6 backs up intrap. I can log onto
both machines and easily do forward and reverse lookups on both hosts, so I know

there is no DNS issue.

Can't for the life of me figure out why it won't flush ....

and finally ... to prove nothing is wrong with the tape  I'll just tar
a quick filesystem to it (destroying the amanda label, I know ... but
I can always re-labell it):

windamere[589]% tar -cf /dev/rmt/3c /tmp
tar: Removing leading / from absolute path names in the archive

All is OK with the tape and the tape drive (well barring a problem
with the tape at, say ... the 5GB section or something). What am I missing?

thanks all

A quick AMANDA question ...

2004-02-24 Thread Geoff Swavley
Hi All,

I have recently had this filesystem run out of tape, when I know that's
impossible as the native capacity of the AIT drive is 35GB. I was
wondering if there is a 32 bit limit to the size of a single filesystem that
amanda
can backup? That's all I can think of, for why it should suddenly
stop working. I have 25 schedules across 5 x AIT tape drives and
they all work beyond this capacity ... the only difference being that they have
multiple filesystems to backup. This schedule has 1 filesystem that is
large:


These dumps were to tape schedule20-WEEK6.
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [[writing file: short write]].
Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk.
Run amflush to flush them to tape.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: schedule20-WEEK1.

Has anyone else had this problem? It's not the tape  I've changed
that (last week) and the problem still persists ... seems to have only
happened as the filesystem has filled to this large size.

thanks
