I don't know that amanda actually uses anything other than the length parameter at this point. > I am going to disable hardware compression since the dumps files are > compressed by amanda. Yes! You *never* want both hardware and software compression enabled. Telling the hardware to compress already compressed data will actually make the data bigger on tape. You may have hit EOT, thus the I/O error. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
