Hi! Sorry if this has been discussed yet (I found some related topics on the archive but no real answer) but I'm having problems with amadmin reuse/no-reuse. First I noticed that if a DLE is backed up on a tape and then fails for any reason (like an offline host) for a whole dump cycle, this tape will be overwritten without notification and, even worse, the database is not updated correctly in this case (I did not check amrecover but the two backups appears on the 'stats' line of amadmin export when only the latest is really present). Is this a bug or something I misunderstood in Amanda? Or can it be because of the daily timestamps problem ? (I ran all these dumps the same day, for testing) As this can happen in my particular configuration, I wrote a script which automatically marks the used tapes as 'no-reusable' with amadmin but Amanda then fails to flush when a no-reusable tape comes up in the cycle. (message: taper: FATAL syncpipe_get: r: unexpected EOF). So, did I do something wrong ? What was originally the purpose of reuse/no-reuse ?
Thanks, -- Omer
