hi,
I'm having problem with amanda when it backups big partition compared to
what a tape can contain.
the tapes are 70Gb
and some dumps are about 30Gb
I've set the autoflush to yes.
Some times a get :
+ These dumps were to tape WeeklySet076.
+ *** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [[writing file: short write]].
so the tape have for example 45Gb already on it, when it tries to flush the
30Gb. So I end up that:
the 30Gb is not flushed
the others dumps (40 dumps of 1Gb) are not dump to the tape. When a lot of them
could be dumped
So:
-is amanda able to maximise the amount on data that it stores or does it only flush without any algorithm.
-or my config file which is uncorrect
-or Is there a way to breaks into smaller pieces the big dumps
my config file for the tape configuration
define tapetype DLT4000 {
length 40000 mbytes # 40 Gig tapes
filemark 8 kbytes # 16 also works, 32 doesn't
speed 1536 kbytes # 6 Mb/s accd to Compaq ??? see bellow def of
DLT
}
thanks in advance
