Hiya gang-
Last night, amreport sent out a 48MB report to my admin mailing list.
I've tracked down why, and the culprit looks to have been the only
real change made yesterday, this being a columnspec line with all of
the width fields set to "-1" in length (according to the man page and
config file comments, this should work).
I've removed the line, and it worked fine. Upon closer inspection,
having *any* fields set to "-1" causes amanda to loop through the
integer space, generating a blank line for every step (appears to
be what's going on, at least).
Anyone else seen this problem with columnspec? Didn't see anything
in the FAQ.
Some pieces for reference, in case anyone needs them:
The removed columnspec (split for mail width):
columnspec "HostName=0:-1,Disk=2:-1,Level=2:-1,OrigKB=1:-1,OutKB=2:-1,\
Compress=2:-1,DumpRate=2:-1,DumpTime=2:-1,TapeTime=2:-1,TapeRate=2:-1"
