Word wrap off, long lines from grep ahead.
Its great that you found it. This is a case of grep -R being your friend.
Example:
[root@coyote amanda-4.0.0alpha.svn.4221]# grep -R MAX_DUMPERS *
Binary file common-src/.libs/libamanda-4.0.0alpha.svn.4221.so matches
Binary file common-src/.libs/conffile.o matches
Binary file common-src/.libs/libamanda.a matches
Binary file common-src/.libs/libamanda.so matches
common-src/amanda.h:#define MAX_DUMPERS 63 <-------target of search, gives
the value. The rest of this is just usage.
common-src/conffile.c: if(val_t__int(val) < 1 || val_t__int(val)
>MAX_DUMPERS)
common-src/conffile.c: conf_parserror(_("inparallel must be between 1 and
MAX_DUMPERS (%d)"),
common-src/conffile.c: MAX_DUMPERS);
Binary file common-src/conffile.o matches
example/template.d/advanced.conf: # modifying MAX_DUMPERS
in server-src/driverio.h
example/template.d/advanced.conf.in: # modifying MAX_DUMPERS
in server-src/driverio.h
example/amanda.conf: # modifying MAX_DUMPERS in
server-src/driverio.h
example/amanda.conf.in: # modifying MAX_DUMPERS in
server-src/driverio.h
server-src/driverio.c: for(dumper = dmptable; dumper < dmptable +
MAX_DUMPERS; dumper++) {
server-src/driverio.c: for (dumper = dmptable; dumper < dmptable +
MAX_DUMPERS; dumper++) {
server-src/driverio.c:#define MAX_SERIAL MAX_DUMPERS*2 /* one for each dumper
and taper */
server-src/driver.c: if(inparallel > MAX_DUMPERS) inparallel = MAX_DUMPERS;
server-src/driverio.h:GLOBAL dumper_t dmptable[MAX_DUMPERS];
server-src/driverio.h:GLOBAL chunker_t chktable[MAX_DUMPERS];
--------end of grep output----------
>From that it appears the message in amanda.conf needs to be updated also.
Also please note that I did that grep search in amanda-4.0.0alpha.svn.4221,
probably newer than your install as I play the part of the geriatric (76 yo)
canary in this here coal mine. ;-)
I have no clue when it may actually have been moved from where amanda.conf
says it is. The ChangeLog for amanda-4.0.0alpha.svn.4221 starts Jan 11,
2008, and this change is not mentioned in a form grep can find.
You I take it, must have a large system with a 64 spindles or more
if you need to expand that value from the usual one dumper per spindle.
Would you care to identify it further? We are always interested in finding
out who the big users of amanda are.
However, replies to a mailing list message should always go back to the
mailing list to constitute a record of the question being answered for
the next person who might ask that question. The list archive is
searchable, doing so is common courtesy, and is expected, so I have added
the list to my reply. You, Dennis, will probably get 2 copies.
Cheers, gene
