Hi list members,
My question is how to combine in a single disklist file definitions of
DLE and includefile directives. Seems that this is impossible. I tried
the following cases:
### case 1 that worked
disklist contains only DLE entries of the form
server.domain.com /etc comp-root-tar
server.domain.com /var/www comp-root-tar
Result: everything works fine
### case 2, that did not work
I wanted to add more DLEs to the abive disklist by including them from
an automatically generated file
server.domain.com /etc comp-root-tar
server.domain.com /var/www comp-root-tar
includefile "disklist.auto"
Result: only entries from included disklist.auto work (and reported by
amadmin CONFIG disklist)
### case 3, again, no luck
I thought that mixing two types of entries is not possible and extracted
case 1 into disklist.manual. Now my disklist is
includefile "disklist.manual"
includefile "disklist.auto"
Result: again, only disklist.auto works. Only the last of included files
works
### WTF?
I reread the disklist manual and found an interesting clause
< The /disklist/ file determines which disks will be backed up by
Amanda. The file contains /includefile/ directive or disklist entry (/DLE/).
so.. literally, only *one* includefile directive xor DLEs. Do I
understand it correctly? Is it a kind of a joke or there is a reason
behind this design?
Best regards,
Nikolai Krot
