How do I run multiple parallel samba DLEs?
2004-10-28 18:54:48
A large number of the machines which I back up are Windows machines.
I use samba to get to the data. Some of the backed up machines are
Linux boxes.
When I run amdump, the Linux machines are run in parallel, which 4
dumpers running at once, since inparallel is set to 4. However, only
one samba dumper runs at a time, even though I have set maxdumps to 4
for the dumptypes used by the samba DLEs.
All of the samba DLEs are run from localhost. They also tend to be
slower than the Linux DLEs.
What am I missing?
Here are parts of my amanda.conf. I hope I have included the
important parts:
inparallel 4 # maximum dumpers that will run in parallel
define interface eth0 {
use 100 Mbps
}
define dumptype root-sambatar {
program "GNUTAR"
comment "Root partitions dumped with tar"
options index
compress server best
maxdumps 4
priority low
}
define dumptype user-sambatar {
comment "User partitions dumped with samba"
root-sambatar
priority medium
}
Disklist includes these samba lines, as well as many other, a number
of Linux lines:
localhost //pigeon/c$ root-sambatar eth0
localhost //pigeon/d$ user-sambatar eth0
localhost //pigeon/e$ user-sambatar eth0
localhost //redbird/c$ root-sambatar eth0
localhost //redbird/f$ user-sambatar eth0
localhost //redbird/g$ user-sambatar eth0
localhost //redbird/i$ user-sambatar eth0
localhost //redbird/j$ user-sambatar eth0
localhost //redbird/k$ user-sambatar eth0
localhost //redbird/l$ user-sambatar eth0
