Hi,
today I recieved the attatched report from Amanda. The /usr/ partition
got filled up by another process, so Amanda (tar, to be correct) could
not keep track of its state. The wrong tape was inserted on purpose,
so backups ended up on the holding disk. Before I cleaned up the /usr
partition, our operator tried to flush the holding disk to tape, but
got "no file to flush" for all partitions. After the operator asked me
for help, the holding disk directory was gone without any error
message.
Are there options to tar to prevent it from tossing a good backup
because tar could not write its index file?
TIA,
Johannes Nie�
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [label taeglich9 doesn't match labelstr
"^woechentlich[0-9][0-9]*$"].
Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk.
Run amflush to flush them to tape.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: woechentlich5.
