runtapes < {total size of dump}?

2006-12-07 Thread JB Segal
So, if I have a dump where every item is the same priority, and the complete dump takes 4 tapes, what happens if I set runtapes to '2'? Will it fail gracefully, filling 2 tapes with half(-ish) the data one pass and the other half the next, or will it fail in such a way that I need to amflush after

I am NOT peaking at 10MB/sec from the amdump report, the 10MB/sec figure is from several amtapetest runs, as well as my own manual testing with dd. I KNOW the tape is shoe-shining, both because I can HEAR it consistently having to reposition the tape every few seconds, and because I'm only g

2.5.1p1 - Error connecting to windows clients

Hello! I am running Debian testing. Upon initial upgrade to 2.5.1p1, amanda would not get ACKs from any machines. I ended up downloading a new amanda 2.5.1p1 debian package and reinstalling. I now have no problems getting to Linux machines, but am unable to reach windows machines via samba.

amreport reports wrong results

Hi, I just tried the amreport command and it looks like it is not providing the proper result. The email it generated was that the results were missing for every client and in the summary the line I kept is was repeated for every client too. I checked and indeed there is no log file in the
