"The Shadow knows!" Sorry, showing my age. Keep clear the amdump and the individual DLEs. The entire dump need not collect on the holding disk. Each DLE collects on the holding disk and when complete, that DLE can be taped. > I'd prefer the latter for performance reasons.

Assuming you are configured for tape spanning, this could be an invalid assumption. Your holding disk has to be at least the size of your largest DLE. Its good to be considerably larger as many DLEs (a configurable number) could be collecting at the same time. > > On Thu, Feb 27, 2014 at 3:43 PM, Jon LaBadie <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Thu, Feb 27, 2014 at 03:09:20PM -0500, Michael Stauffer wrote: > > > Amanda 3.3.4 > > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > Seems like I'm having trouble getting amanda to use my holding disk. > > > > > > Here's my setup in amanda.conf: > > > > > > define holdingdisk holdingdisk1 { > > > directory "/mnt/amanda-holdingdisk1/" > > > use 4500Gb > > > chunksize 100Gb > > > } > > > > Others pointed out the error, but is the size really 4.5 TeraBytes? > > > > -- > > Jon H.
