Hi,

I'm running amanda-2.4.4p2 on a Fedora Core 2 having a Dell PowerVault 120T DLT1 with 6 tapes DLT tapes in it.

When performind amdump I get this error while watching the status with amstatus:

Using /var/lib/amanda/mail1/amdump.1 from Sun Jun 20 11:41:49 CEST 2004
anubis:/data/data0 0 planner: [dump larger than tape, 33895015 KB, but cannot incremental dump new disk]
anubis:/data/data1      1       17k finished (12:24:03)
anubis:/data/dns0       1        2k finished (12:22:46)
anubis:/data/dns1       1        4k finished (12:22:31)
anubis:/data/etc0       1        0k finished (12:24:00)
anubis:/data/home0      0 16515845k finished (15:26:11)

Ok, I see that /data/data0 is too big to fit on the tape. The questions I have are:

- is there another solution than splitting /data/data0 into more dumps?
- on the DLT tapes I use is written 40GB/80GB (native/compressed), but if the tape is defined in amanda.conf as a 40 GB big tape, I get the message that 'dump does not fit to tape' then it loads a new tape and I get the same error msg. (the dump should fit in 40GB)

My definition in amanda.conf:

define tapetype DLT {
   comment "DLT tape drives"
   length 20000 mbytes         # 20 Gig tapes
   filemark 2000 kbytes        # I don't know what this means
   speed 1536 kbytes           # 1.5 Mb/s
}

Gruss,
