hello everybody. im running amanda 2.6.0P1 and i try to backup a DLE bigger than my LTO4 tape. (850GB DLE on a 800 GB LTO4 TAPE)
when the backup starts , the amdump log says that there's not enough holding disk space and it dump directly to tape. i'am surprised because i defined a tape_splitsize as defined in the manual. another weird thing i noticed in the amdump log. the tapelengt is about twice as big as my tape definition (1581252608 KB VS 772096 mbytes) Is it a normal behavior? here's a sample of my amanda.conf holdingdisk hd1 { comment "Temporary holding space" directory "/var/tmp/amanda" use -5000 MB # use all but 5gb chunksize 2Gb } define tapetype HP-ULTRIUM4 { comment "HP Ultrium 4-SCSI (compression off)" length 772096 mbytes filemark 0 kbytes speed 75283 kps } define dumptype root-tar { program "GNUTAR" compress none tape_splitsize 2Gb fallback_splitsize 256M split_diskbuffer "/var/tmp/amanda" comment "root partition dump with tar" index yes dumpcycle 0 exclude list "/etc/amanda/fullbackup/fullbackup.exclude" priority high auth "bsdtcp" holdingdisk yes estimate calcsize } part of amdump log DELAYING DUMPS IF NEEDED, total_size 855334735, [b]tape length 1581252608 [/b]mark 0 delay: Total size now 855334735.
