Hello,
I've just installed amanda 2.4.2 and it's backing up a couple of my
filesystems as expected. I added a another filesystem to be backed up
just yesterday which is timing out on the estimate part.
the problem is that the filesystem is on a Linux software RAID config:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 2.0G 1.3G 548M 71% /
/dev/hdb1 19G 13G 4.4G 75% /exports
/dev/md0 67G 51G 12G 81% /raid1
and I'm only after the "/raid1/production" directory so I must use
gnutar to back it up. I think it times out because there is over
100,000 files and it can't create the file list. The "production"
directory isn't even that big, it's only around 8 GB.
I increased the timeout period in the amanda.conf file which I thought
would help, but it didn't. When I manually ran amdump, the gtar process
list took up like 60 to 70 percent of the CPU usage. I took a look 20
minutes later and it was still running but the CPU usage was only 0.4
percent so I just killed it. I don't think it would've ever finished.
Before amanda, I used dump to do level zero's every night on the
/raid1/production directory which worked well. Can I do that with
amanda, I don't mind getting a level 0 backup everyday.
Thanks,
Ajay
