I'm running FreeBSD and my hold disk is just a directory on a filesystem
I'm backing up, so naturally I set that partition up with instructions
to dump directly to tape.
FreeBSD, however, has 'nodump' flag support (being a 4.4BSD derivative),
and as of 4.3-RELEASE, nodump on a directory is now recursive on the
subtree (although there is a performance penalty). AMANDA was built from
the ports, which by default adds the honor-nodump option.
So I am thinking that I might be able to get away with marking the
hold directory with the 'nodump' flag so that dump will skip it and then
taking away the 'no-hold' directive from the disklist entry. Has anyone
tried this (or a similar) configuration?
