Hi, I'm trying to figure out why I still get level 0 dumps when in
degraded mode (no tape available).
I took the default of 100% for the "reserve" parameter first being that
the result, as I understand it to be, is as I desire. When Amanda
would still run level 0's on some machines in degraded mode, I
explicitely set reserve to be 100. I'm still getting level 0 backups
to my holding disk. Currently, no tape is loaded yet one of the disks
being dumped right now is running at a level 0. (I don't want over 3
Gigs of a level 0 to go to my holding disk.) Relevant commands and their
output follow.
I'm running version 2.4.2p2, BTW.
Thanks, Paul
>grep -i reserve /usr/local/etc/amanda/hea_daily/amanda.conf
# incremental backups in this case, i.e., it will reserve 100% of the
# However, if you specify a different value for the `reserve'
# non-reserved portion of the holding disk.
# reserve 30 # percent
reserve 100 # percent
>grep -i tapedev /usr/local/etc/amanda/hea_daily/amanda.conf
# Some tape changers require tapedev to be defined; others will use
# tapedev "/dev/rmt/0bn" # the no-rewind tape device to be used
tapedev "/dev/nrst28" # the no-rewind tape device to be used
>mt -f /dev/nrst28 status
/dev/nrst28: no tape loaded or drive offline
