Running amanda 2.4.2p2 on solaris 2.6 using a boxhill tape changer with two DLT7000 drives (only one enabled by config) and chg-scsi. I have 14 DLT IV tapes available for each run.
There are two dump images which are continually failing to tape. One is 32247872k - the other about the same. The error is always: FAIL driver diglib1 /AMNH/congo/ARCHIVE/photos/4x5a 0 [too many taper retries] INFO taper retrying diglib1:/AMNH/congo/ARCHIVE/photos/4x5a.0 on new tape: [writing file: short write] (it looks like there are two attempts being made before FAIL is declared) I've also tried setting up a seperate config with just these two file systems (very long mount points - don't look at me - I didn't set it up) and as many tapes as they could eat. The error remained the same. It's acting as if the image is just too big for the tape. I don't see how that's possible - unless hardware compression snuck into the mix somehow - this is what's defined in changer.conf: changerdev /dev/rsst6 # # Next comes the data for drive 0 # config 0 drivenum 0 dev /dev/rmt/8n Can anyone shed some light? -- fil krohnengold systems administrator - IT american museum of natural history [EMAIL PROTECTED]
