Amanda Users,
Dustin,
We are using amanda 2.6.1p1 on a Solaris 10x86 system with ZFS snapshots.
We where aware that one of the file systems was too large to fit
on a single tape volume, even though it was an LTO4 tape.
This is the disklist entry. We seem to be backing up the
contents of the subdirectory. Perhaps I have the exclude
coded incorrectly ? Perhaps exclude with Schily, star, is
not working as expected.
[Skipping digression on why we switched from gtar to star for this DLE]
cascade /cascadep/export/ghost /cascadep/export/ghost {
nocomp-user-zfs-amstar
exclude "./[ghost-archive]*"
}
Rather than using split size, we thought to move the ghost-archive
subdirectory to a separate mount point, I know that gtar would not
(by default) cross file system boundries.
star seems to be trying to cross that boundry, at least for the
estimate phase if not the actual backup phase.
NOTES:
planner: disk cascade:/cascadep/export/ghost, full dump (951917180KB) will be
larger than available tape space, you could define a splitsize
planner: cascade /cascadep/export/ghost 20100602183000 0 "[dump larger than
available tape space, 951917180 KB, full dump delayed]"
(brought to you by Amanda version 2.6.1p1)
Please help me to set the switches correctly so that we can successfully
backup the ghost directory without backing up the ghost-archive
subdirectory.
thanks,
Brian
