stopping estimates if machine goes off-line

2001-12-20 Thread Eric Nelson
Hello, Does anyone know how to 'tell' amanda to stop gathering estimates of a PC if it goes off-line/crashes? Overall, I would like for amanda to bypass the particular PC if the estimates are taking too long and continue with the rest of the dump. Thanks again, Eric

HW Compression and dump larger than tape message

2001-12-20 Thread Steve Cousins
I've got a volume that the planner is figuring is 48 GB. I'm using DLT IV tapes that should be good for 35 GB native with this tape drive. Software compression is off and Hardware compression is on (using device /dev/nrmt2h on a DEC Alpha OSF 1 version 4 system). I'm getting the message dump

irix 6.5.14 and amanda

2001-12-20 Thread Robert . Weber
We upgraded(patched) irix on some of our sgi's and noticed core.pid files started appearing in /. From the amanda logs it appears that amanda cannot sigterm the xfsdumps and has resulted in SIGKILL. The kills are apparently causing the xfsdumps to dump core. Is anyone else seeing this? I'm

client start problems under Irix 6.4
