Hi Andree, This past weekend has been my first opportunity to work on a new build. I did a new package build with the following change to libmondo-tools.c: (IS_THIS_A_STREAMING_BACKUP(bkpinfo->backup_media_type) ? 16 : 16) * 1024; With that change only, I was able to run a complete backup, boot

Hi John, Great stuff, thanks a lot for your testing and your feedback! So, it looks like we can work around the issues by changing some of the hardcoded parameters. Hopefully, this keep us going until we can make this all dynmic. Obviously, I'll be most interest in any further test results you

Hi Andree, Thanks very much for getting back to me on this. 64k sounds like a reasonable number, with caveats, of course. 4096 was sufficient while using a DDS-2 tape drive but not once I upgraded to a DDS-3 drive. What would happen with a high-capacity drive, such as a DLT-S4? If I could expa

Hi Andree, I've done some additional testing with the suggested change to my-stuff.h, changing the value for: #define MAX_TAPECATALOG_ENTRIES 4096///< The maximum number of entries in the tape catalog ...to 8192. For my purposes, the issue I've reported is resolved between the two parame

Hi Bruno, After John's test results (Thanks a lot again, John!) combined with our discussion, I believe the included patch is a reasonable compromise. It only doubles the number of tape catalog entries and at the same time increases the optimal size for the afio files to 16MB for both streaming a
