It seems as if Amanda has a problem with my DLT drive. It's an HP DLT7000,
an uncompressed tape has a capacity of 35GB, a compressed one up to 70GB.
But when I do a full dump of all my machines on a time that one of them
contains quite a lot of data (my own homegrown backup-images), I get this
kind of report.
Now, if I do my maths correctly, the tape (with hardware compression turned
on) should be able to take at least 35 GB, the total size of the amanda
dump is 43GB, so if the compression ratio is 0%, it should refuse less than
10GB. Amanda makes images of 2000MB, btw. But if the aready taped 14.6GB
represents 20.9% of the tape's capacity, that would mean there's still room
for 55.2GB.
I'm not a mathematician, so either I'm making some mistake here, or I
misinterpret Amanda's report. This is the drive definition I use:
define tapetype DLT7000 {
length 70000 mbytes
filemark 1024 kbytes
speed 1687 kps
}
Can anyone tell me what's happening here?
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [[writing file: No space left on device]].
Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk.
Run amflush to flush them to tape.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.
