I have a folder on a Windows 2000 box shared out. That folder consumes 52.3 GB. It appears that the
planner takes that size, assumes a 50% compression ratio and then aborts the dump because 27GB is
too much to fit onto my tape (10GB DLT 3):
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
royal.inse citdb lev 0 FAILED [dump larger than tape, 27422784 KB, but cannot incremental dump
new disk]
planner: FATAL cannot fit anything on tape, bailing out
This would be fine, except I have an exclude list to remove most of the larger sub-folders from the
share. I have a couple of questions. Does Planner use the exclude list when determining the required
tape space? If not, how do I either get it to use that, or for amdump to go ahead and dump to tape
anyway?
Second, I'm not even sure if my exclude list is correct. Here is my dumptype:
define dumptype fulldump {
compress server best
program "GNUTAR"
record no
holdingdisk yes
exclude file "beta cdimage_source citcd generics tmp archive cdimage"
index yes
maxdumps 1
strategy STANDARD
}
The share name is citdb. There are folders under that named beta, cdimage_source, etc. I want those
folders excluded. I tried this two ways, one as shown above and also as citdb/beta
citdb/cdimage_source, etc. I don't know how gnu tar "sees" the samba share, and whether the share
name is needed at the beginning of each directory or not. How do I properly format the exclude list
to not dump the folders in the citdb share whose names are listed above?
Thanks.
