Hi Y’all, I had just upgraded to Amanda 2.5, knowing that it has the
tape spanning option. I use an Dell Powervault 122T, which uses 40GB/80GB
tapes. For some reason, it’s not quite working right. The
daily backups usually doesn’t require a 2nd time, but
sometimes it does. It seems that if it requires a 2nd tape,
the amdump operation will hang when the 1st tape is full. That
is, until I go into the server, do an ./amcheck (config). It’ll
tell me that amdump is running… blah blah blah….. then it moves on
to the 2nd tape and finishes the operation. Here’s my Amanda.conf
configuration below: Please let me know if I need to provide more config details…… Victor dumpcycle 6 days runspercycle 5 runtapes 2 tapecycle 6 tapes tpchanger "chg-zd-mtx" changerfile "/usr/local/etc/amanda/test/changer" tapedev "/dev/nst0" changerdev "/dev/sg2" amrecover_do_fsf yes amrecover_check_label yes tapetype DLTape-IV labelstr "^MY-TAPE-[0-9][0-9]*$" diskdir "var/tmp" disksize 10000 MB infofile "/usr/adm/amanda/test/curinfo" logfile "/usr/adm/amanda/test/log" indexdir "/usr/adm/amanda/test/index" define tapetype DLTape-IV { comment "DLTape-IV" length 34489 mbytes filemark 13 kbytes speed 1400 kps } define dumptype comp-server-tar { program "GNUTAR" tape_splitsize 4 Gb index yes } Here are the contents of the /usr/local/etc/Amanda/test/changer
