[amanda@fasttrans: FastTrans AMANDA MAIL REPORT FOR July 18, 2001]

2001-07-18 Thread John Jolet
I keep getting reports like the attached running amanda on aix 4.3.3. I've setup a samll (3 gig) holding disk, and configured amanda to use a 1gig chunk size (the filesystem is not large file enabled, which means a 2-gig limit on aix). The filesystems on fasttrans are using aix backup, but

This is different from .rhosts: If you leave off the username, it will accept any user. Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't read the .rhosts man page well enough. I've updated the .amandahosts description in amanda(8) as follows: .amandahosts This is essentially the same as

2001-07-18 Thread John R. Jackson
[ XFS mailing list removed from Cc list. --JJ ] I've patched amverify (2.4.2p2) to do the trick. It cds to /tmp/amanda (on XFS) prior to start xfsrestore being fed by the xfsdump image: ... Ok, it's not the nice, general, amverify.in, testing-for-OS-and-xfsrestore solution but it works for me.

2001-07-18 Thread Carey Jung
What version of Amanda? Pretty much the latest, 242p2, I think. The netusage would not affect planner. And I don't think inparallel is involved, either. I'm pretty sure planner ships a sendsize request to all the clients at the same time and doesn't pay any attention to either of
