Is there a way how I could test the estimate time "dry" without making really
a backup?
Yep. sendsize*debug has the exact command it runs, which you could then
run by hand.
sendsize[5579]: time 0.332: calculating for amname '/var/mail', dirname
'/var/mail', spindle -1
sendsize[5579]: time 0.335: getting size via gnutar for /var/mail level 0
sendsize[5577]: time 0.344: waiting for any estimate child: 1 running
sendsize[5579]: time 0.375: spawning /usr/local/amanda/libexec/runtar in
pipeline
sendsize[5579]: argument list: /opt/gnu/bin/tar --create --file /dev/null
--directory /var/mail --one-file-system --listed-incremental
/usr/local/amanda/va
r/amanda/gnutar-lists/glia_var_mail_0.new --sparse --ignore-failed-read
--totals --exclude-from /tmp/amanda/sendsize._var_mail.20051013210005.exclude
.
There's the command (I'm assuming the odd line break is a mailer issue.
*********************************************************************************
sendsize[5579]: time 349.922: Total bytes written: -1386622976
And there's your problem. tar is returning a *negative* size for
/var/mail. You have to figure out why that's happening. Personally, I
have no idea. :)
