Hi
finally I found my problem with my sonicwall firewall. the problem was
the timeout and the machine that I was trying to backup is running on
Mac OS X Server and it is too slow so took a long time to compress.
Then I had to compress on the tape server, I used fast compression but
I still have a problem, today I got the error "data write: file too
large" . My Holding disk is on a hard drive with 8 Gb and available
7.6 Gb and the data that I am trying to backup is 5.2 Gb. In my
configuration (amanda.conf) I defined the holding disk in this way:
holding disk hd1 {
comment "main holding disk"
directory "/amanda_holding"
use -10 Mb
chunksize -1
}
I don't know what is the problem or If I have to change the use or the
chunksize values, I found that when I use a negative value for USE this
means that I can use all space except that value and for the CHUNKSIZE
-1 means that for big dumps i can dumped on multiple files on my
holding disk so I don't understand why i got the error "file too large".
I know that the holding disk is used for every dump for every machine in
parallel but I am not sure about in what order. I'm sorry if I am
doing many questions maybe with easy answers that every knows but after
almost two months trying to fix the problem I don't know what can I do.
If somebody can help I would really, really ....really appreciated
Thanks
Sandra
