I have a bunch of disks Im amanda-dumping
4 18G disks, a couple od smaller disks and a 420G RAID5 array
Now obviously even a level 3 dump of the 420G dsk array is going to take
longer than a 0 dump of the smalles disks.
Therefore, I'd like ot tell amanda to start work on the 420G disk array
d to hack some logos in the postscript label
templates (well most of the code is already there).
If anyone is interested Ill see if I can work the hack into a small perl
script ;)

The speed difference is enorm.
Whereas gnutar took well over 4 hours to get the estimates using calcsize
gives results within 45 minutes.

Ideally amanda should look every time a chunk is written to disk how much
space ios free ...
That's probably a good idea. I've added it to the TODO list.
thanks

I was going to stay out of yet another round of dump vs tar, but what
the hell. Here's a little eye-opener for all you tar folks ...
$ gtar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.13.19
Not to panic you or anything, of

We're on the verge of ordering a DDS drive (this week). It'll probably
be an HP Surestore - but the question is DDS3 or DDS4? There's the
where now some people are getting 75 GB and 180 GB disk drives, and with

This might be a question better suited for sunmanagers, but I'll try it
here.
I'm running Solaris 2.7 on an E450, with a DDS-3 changer. amanda's been
calling my tape drive by /dev/rmt/0n, which is the OS default.

The Apollo fails to return an estimate and fails to backup. The estimates
are taking about 6hrs to complete. ...
Ick. I'm sure that's because GNU tar does not perform estimates as fast
as ufsdump can.

calcsize does all 3 estimates in one go ...
But it does not support exclusion patterns. That's the one major
thing holding me back from supporting it.
It doesn't ?
If you compile with -DBUILTIN_EXCLUDE_SUPPORT it

If I get it working, would you include it ?
Absolutely.
Great.
We would need to link against the libtar.a from tar 1.13.19 alpha though.
Would that be a problem ?
Not if it's done right :-).
I'd suggest something

Which means it's probably a good idea if I get everything out of CVS and
try to amke it wokr with the CVs version.
So how do I get the CVS version (2.4.2 preferably) ?
(I know how to use CVS, I just dont know how to get into amanda CVS)

Dear all,
Our houston office is going to drastically expand their disksusage
(they're aiming to have betwen 1.5T and 2T (~ 2000 Gigabytes ;) ) of
diskspace before the end of the year.
I'd like to use amanda for their setup as well (makes administrating a lot
easier if all remote offices are

Does anyone know if that puppy is supported by amanda ?
If it's SCSI, Amanda can do it (or it should be able to so we'll make it).
It is,
the thing is that it's a taperobot/tapechanger, and I remember reading

Hello there,
I figure my last mail was less than informative - usually not my
style and I apologize.
ERROR: /dev/sa0: not
an amanda tape.
(expecting a new tape)
I might be wrong here,
but isn't /dev/sa0
* John R. Jackson [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Tue, Jul 31, 2001 at 12:44:19PM -0500)
the thing is that it's a taperobot/tapechanger, and I remember reading
discussions that getting that to work is not always a trivial issue.
That's going to be true no matter what. Any time software comes in
contact
that sold us
the drive certainly claimed... well, salesmen. ;-)
Well, it might be supported (in fact Im still hugely surprised it's not)
but the docs I have, give no clue as to how to do it ;(
Ah well,
a 2 week holliday coming up in about 5 hours ... ;)

I said I'd check this in the docs that came wth out DLT8000.
There's a couple of pages about hooking up a DLT to an IRIX box, but upon
closer reading the book only offers instructions for DLT devices upto a
DLT7000 not for a DLT8000 ... ;(
Kind regards,

First I want to say thanks to all of you who respond to email like mine.
I am trying to test amrecover. when I run amrecover daily, I get the
following error.
AMRECOVER Version 2.4.2p2. Contacting server on
stuff.
Could you run top/ps -ef or whatever to see what exactly is runnig, and
what is hogging the CPU ?
Are you using ufsdump or tar dump ?
Kind regards,
