Last night it promoted about 20 DLE's some as much as 4 days, but the balance report stubbornly maintains its going to do a 45Gb backup sunday morning. It is not promoting or adjusting anything over about 4Gb, they are apparently untouchable. After the build/install, [root@coyote amanda]# su amanda -c "amadmin Daily balance" due-date #fs orig MB out MB balance ---------------------------------------------- 3/23 Fri 0 0 0 --- 3/24 Sat 4 20596 11128 -24.4% 3/25 Sun 5 48037 44776 +204.4% 3/26 Mon 8 7023 3605 -75.5% 3/27 Tue 19 30582 14054 -4.5% ---------------------------------------------- TOTAL 36 106238 73563 14712 (estimated 5 runs per dumpcycle) So it remains to be seen if this patch works. I've no clue if the amadmin /config/ balance uses the code just patched. I'll find out in the morning I guess. I just parked this on another screen and checked my emails from amanda, scanning the planners output, clear back to Feb 24th. It is as if /usr/movies at 16.6Gb does not exist, it never attempts to promote it to a less busy run. Ditto for /usr/pix at 7.5Gb, it is never mentioned by the planner. Those 2 are stuck on the same level 0 day together and have been for very a long time. I would do a one time force on /usr/movies, but that would hide the problem only for me. Could this be a >4Gb problem in the math someplace? Thanks Jean-Louis Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
