Hi! A common problem with space on holding disks is when amanda runs into degraded mode (no tape). In that case, level 0 dumps won't work if you have "reserve 0" in your conf. I'm putting something like "reserve 30" in general...
Hope it helps. -------------------------------------------------------------- Jean-Christian SIMONETTI email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SysAdmin Wanadoo Portails phone: (+33)492283200 (standard) Sophia Antipolis, France -------------------------------------------------------------- On Wed, 10 Jul 2002 10:23:01 -0500 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Peter Seebach) wrote: > So, I'm doing some dumps using a 120GB holding disk, and without a tape, > and *MOST* of them work.
