I have just setup amanda on a test installation for a sparc 5. It has mounted partitions as follows: Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on /dev/dsk/c1t3d0s0 1778230 694298 1030586 41% / /dev/dsk/c1t5d0s0 2007070 265390 1681468 14% /home /dev/dsk/c1t2d0s0 2007070 119950 1826908 7% /opt /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0 2007070 1230887 715971 64% /opt/local
All of which adds up to around 2.2 Gb. I have specified the tape compression device, but to use software compression for c1t1d0s0 otherwise amanda won't touch it. My test level 0 dump produced this, which is baffling: These dumps were to tapes godzilla1, godzilla2. The next 2 tapes Amanda expects to used are: a new tape, a new tape. FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: godzilla c1t1d0s0 lev 0 FAILED ["data write: Broken pipe"] godzilla c1t1d0s0 lev 0 FAILED [dump to tape failed] [lots of ufsdump output deleted] and then this: DUMP SUMMARY: DUMPER STATS TAPER STATS HOSTNAME DISK L ORIG-KB OUT-KB COMP% MMM:SS KB/s MMM:SS KB/s -------------------------- --------------------------------- ------------ godzilla c1t1d0s0 0 1242399 704928 56.7 185:46 63.2 185:47 63.2 godzilla c1t2d0s0 0 121088 121088 -- 4:29 450.2 4:30 448.6 godzilla c1t3d0s0 0 720032 720032 -- 23:19 514.8 23:20 514.5 godzilla c1t5d0s0 0 267392 267392 -- 10:15 434.5 10:17 433.8 (brought to you by Amanda version 2.4.2p2) So it looks like it succeeded, but amanda wasted a couple of hours getting halfway through a ufsdump which was always going to fail, then getting it right with the second tape. Is there a way to force the first three partitions onto one tape, and the fourth onto the second? Here is the relevant disklist: godzilla c1t3d0s0 always-full -1 local godzilla c1t5d0s0 always-full -1 local godzilla c1t2d0s0 always-full -1 local godzilla c1t1d0s0 comp-full -1 local comp-full, as you might guess, is a compressed level 0.
