I'm getting a lot of these messages in my nightly report
planner: Last full dump of cyber.jgcomp.com:Home on tape DS1-084 overwritten
in 1 run.
planner: Last full dump of cyber.jgcomp.com:Vault on tape DS1-079 overwritten
in 1 run.
It made little sense as there are many full dumps or these
various DLEs sprinkled back to tape DS1-000. And, although
there were about 10 unused tapes remaining, I added a bunch
more which had no effect on the "will be overwritten" messages.
Then I looked at the tapelist and found 2 different formats.
This is certainly due to my switching from CentOS packages
(amanda 3.3.3.) to Zmanda pre-built binaries for RHEL (amanda
3.4.1).
Previously labeled tapes have a 4 column layout but when the
new amanda version uses a tape, it modifies that layout to a
7 column format adding "POOL", "STORAGE", and "CONFIG" columns.
Now my tapelist has 4 contiguous groups.
recently labeled unused 7 column layout
previously labeled unused 4 column layout
previously labeled used 7 column layout
previously labeled used 4 column layout
Why does the planner think it will overwrite the last full dumps?
Would simply adding the additional 7 fields to the tapelist
correct this error or would other things have to change also?
Would adding the extra columns adversely affect anything else?
