Don't know without more information. Take a look at the amdump.<NN> file for the "got result for host" lines to make sure what planner was working with. Then look for the "DELAYING DUMPS IF NEEDED" line, e.g.: DELAYING DUMPS IF NEEDED, total_size 33616007, tape length 55296000 mark 2000 This says the total estimated size was 33616007 KBytes, the tape length (including the runtapes multiplier) is 55296000 KBytes and a tape mark (space between each image) is 2000 KBytes. What is your runtapes set to? >If it hits EOT, then didnt sendsize & friends miscalculat? Not necessarily. If someone touch's a 30 GByte file that the estimate skipped over because it looked idle at that time, the dump will have to do it and that would throw everything out of whack. >And is there any consideration on fitting a large partition onto one or >more tapes? Definitely. All it takes is a few weeks of dedicated programming time by someone and a whole lot of testing. John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
