Folks,
We're running Amanda (version 2.5.1p1) on a Debian Linux system with an
8-tape AIT-2 library. We have around 314GB spread over two file systems
that we are attempting to backup in one run across as many tapes as
necessary. We're using gzip compression and expect it will take 5-6
tapes to complete (there's a fair amount of audio and image data that
doesn't compress too well).
I think we have the config files set up correctly, but it seems like no
matter what we do, the run stops (after about 16 hours) and reports that
it's out of tape. I don't think it has ever succeeded in spanning more
than 4 tapes before giving us the error. I see nothing in the .debug
output for the changer that looks different for any tapes it changes.
I'm sort of at a loss for where to start looking for the problem, and
what to look for. Any suggestions from the list?
Thanks,
t
