Upgrading at this time would be GREAT. Unfortunately this is not going

point.

Hi there list.
I'm running amanda 2.4.2 on a RH7.1 box with 2.4.2-2. I recently read
in the archives about making chunksizes 1Gb instead of 2 due to amanda
tacking on stuff at the end, making those file too large. Too late, I'm
afraid, as I'm trying to restore a set of files f
ding disks that only handled individual
files smaller than 2 GBytes. You don't have that problem on AIX 4+.
Another possibility for the "File too large" error is your Amanda user
running into ulimit. If you do this:
su - -c "ulimit -a"
does it have a "file(blocks)

I don't understand the problem. When amanda encounters a filesystem larger
than the holding disk, she AUTOMATICALLY resorts to direct tape write.

Why not define a chunksize of 500 Mb on your holdingdisk? That's what
I did. Backups go faster and there's less wear and tear

We just ran across this error, because we hit the 2GB filesize limit on ext2
filesystems. After reading the man pages, we've cranked down the
holdingdisk chunksize to 2000MB, which should alleviate the problem in the
future.
