Greetings; amanda, version 2.5.1b2-20060829, just did it again.
The whole firewall box failed, and there are still 16 copies of gtar running on that box, each consuming 5 to 8% of the cpu. This is with those timeout numbers doubled from the thread of 2 weeks or so ago doubled. I suspect it may have left a few of them running from yesterday because amanda has recently been underestimating the backup size, and then leaving as much as 1.3GB in the holding disk. So I extended the dumpcycle and runspercycle by one day, but its still promoting level 0's from 3 days ahead too. If you want to see the logs, I can supply those later today but its getting sleepy around here now. In the meantime I'm gonna kill those gtars and get my machine back. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
