Even if the C is not your flavor, the comments give a pretty good description of how things get broken down. As a note, we're toying with the idea of implementing holding disk as a directory accessed by the VFS device driver. In this case, the terminology would change a little bit, but the basic structure would remain the same. The interface might change somewhat in that case.

I guess I'd have to know more about what the C module produces to know if it would be helpful. Thanks, Dustin! Paul

Nope -- many of Amanda's internals are changing from version to version. If you have scripts that depend on such things, you'd probably be best served by keeping abreast of new releases, rather than waiting. Also, there's a rather flexible C module for analyzing the holding disk. If it would help, I'd be happy to talk about SWIGging that into perl, allowing your script to interface with it directly.

Ah, thanks! That's what coming from 2.4.4p3 will do for ya! I had a script that used the old directory naming style. I will have to adapt my script (likely with some effort) unless there is a way to ask 2.6.0 to use the old naming convention, ie. date only.

Re: Should usetimestamps setting effect holding disk directory names?
Amanda use 14 digits for holding disk directory name since many releases, it is not related to usetimestamps. Jean-Louis Paul Yeatman wrote: Hi, Are 14 digit directory names on the holding disk only when using time stamps or in any case with amanda 2.6.0p1? I tried using time stamps for awhile and then decided I'd prefer not to and, as I'm not planning to downgrade or anything, don't expect it to be a problem. 14 digit directory names are still being used on the holding disk, however, even though the index directories for this config changed back from 14d_1d.gz to 8d_1d.gz filenames. I expected the directory names on the holding disk to drop back down to 8 digits. Thanks, Paul

Hi, Are 14 digit directory names on the holding disk only when using time stamps or in any case with amanda 2.6.0p1? I tried using time stamps for awhile and then decided I'd prefer not to and, as I'm not planning to downgrade or anything, don't expect it to be a problem. 14 digit directory names are still being used on the holding disk, however, even though the index directories for this config changed back from 14d_1d.gz to 8d_1d.gz filenames. I expected the directory names on the holding disk to drop back down to 8 digits. Thanks, Paul
