Hi Gene, I was afraid the patch would promote the smaller dle too often. Send me the amdump.1 log file, it have a lot more information that can help me to improve the patch. Jean-Louis On 03/28/2012 06:54 AM, gene heskett wrote: On Wednesday, March 28, 2012 06:45:20 AM gene heskett did

Hi, The problem is when there is two or more large dles on the same day. Would it make sense to span the largest dles on different run? eg. if runspercycle is 5, then span the 5 largest dles on 5 different run? Do you see a case where it would be bad to do it? It will not fix all problems but

Hi Jean-Louis, will your patch apply to Amanda version 3.3.1? For several months I have an ongoing similar problem with one Amanda configuration. One big DLE (120 GB), two DLEs at 75 and 50 GB and ca. 35 DLEs at 20-35 GB each. Amanda 3.3.1 does not move the biggest DLE to a day when it

Gene, Did you set maxpromoteday? You should not. Amanda never promote a DLE if the sum will be larger that the means, eg. it will never promote your biggest dle, you havr to do it manually with 'amadmin force'. If oyu want that I look at it, then you post more informations, the amdump.? log
