amflush, chunks, cruft warnings
when running amflush on amanda dumps containing chunk files, can the warning messages about cruft files that correspond to chunks be ignored? for example... NOTES: amflush: visual._1.0.1: ignoring cruft file. are these chunks really being taped along with the rest of the dump, despite the warning message? -- Todd Pfaff \ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Computing and Information Services \ Voice: (905) 525-9140 x22920 ABB 132 \ FAX: (905) 528-3773 McMaster University \ Hamilton, Ontario, Canada L8S 4M1 \
Re: amflush, chunks, cruft warnings
when running amflush on amanda dumps containing chunk files, can the warning messages about cruft files that correspond to chunks be ignored? Yes (as I recall). Or you can upgrade your server to 2.4.2p2 where the problem is fixed :-). are these chunks really being taped along with the rest of the dump, despite the warning message? Again, I think so, but if you're worried, do some cross-checks. The original amdump report told you how big the dump image was, and you can also du -sk the holding disk area. See if the amflush reports the same amount going to tape. The values should all be within a few KBytes. If they are off by your chunksize (or multiples there-of), well, then it's **really** time to upgrade :-). Todd Pfaff John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

'which amflush' returns the expected path). -- Todd Pfaff \ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Computing and Information Services \ Voice: (905) 525-9140 x22920 ABB 132 \ FAX: (905) 528-3773 McMaster University \ Hamilton, Ontario, Canada L8S 4M1 \
Re: amflush, chunks, cruft warnings
are you sure it's fixed? ... H. I sure thought it was. Do you have one of those chunks still laying around? What does: dd if=the-chunk-file bs=32k count=1 have to say? Todd Pfaff John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: amflush, chunks, cruft warnings
no, amflush removed them. OK. If it happens again (look before you leap :-), try the dd. I've taken a note to try to reproduce this here as well. Todd Pfaff John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
