Hi,

The question is: I know that that the autoflush option is quite new, Do
you think that maybe amdump doesn't handle amflush so well and then
amdump will not report this handling problems in the logs?

BECAUSE.....

I had a problem with amanda, amdump was running in total for 10mn when
usually it takes about 10hours and the report was a follow:

FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
  obslin8    /home RESULTS MISSING
  isdcul10   /export/diskS1 RESULTS MISSING
  :
  : (for every hosts/partition)
nothing was dump, on the tape!

I was suprised because when I run amstatus during the process and saw
some:
estimating done

So I looked suspicious that the report was telling me that the data was
missing when the <<sendsize>> program was working fine

but amcheck was keeping to tell me that everything was fine...
I check the /tmp/amanda/ files without finding any warning what so ever
I also check the <confdir>/amdump nothing else more!

Finally I find out that the amflush was not working properly, So I
decided to erase all the data kept in the HoldingDisk...I Run amcleanup

remove the option autoflush in amanda.conf....

and ...raaaaahh!...it's working again...... ouf!

If you need more details ...just ask! :)

thanks

briner
