Re: all estimate failed - problem
2005-10-14 10:43:57
Hi Joshua,
thanks for your answer!
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.
I´m a little bit confused with the arguments ...
as user amanda, I did the following:
mailserver% sendsize /opt/gnu/bin/tar --create --file /dev/null --directory /var/mail
--one-file-system --listed-incremental
/usr/local/amanda/var/amanda/gnutar-lists/mailserver_var_mail_5.new --sparse
--ignore-failed-read --totals --exclude-from
/tmp/amanda/sendsize._var_mail.20051013210554.exclude
il.20051013210554.exclude: Command not found
mailserver% sendsize /opt/gnu/bin/tar --create --file /dev/null --directory /var/mail
--one-file-system --listed-incremental
/usr/local/amanda/var/amanda/gnutar-lists/mailserver_var_mail_5.new --sparse
--ignore-failed-read --totals --exclude-from
/tmp/amanda/sendsize._var_mail.20051013210554.exclude .
il.20051013210554.exclude: Command not found
mailserver% sendsize /opt/gnu/bin/tar --create --file /dev/null --directory /var/mail
--one-file-system --listed-incremental
/usr/local/amanda/var/amanda/gnutar-lists/mailserver_var_mail_5.new --sparse
--ignore-failed-read --totals
the last line is now working, but is it correct? Anyway there is no entry in the exclude
file ...
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/mailserver_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.
yes
*********************************************************************************
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. :)
I had a similar problem, but the last time it was a wrong tar version, for that reason it
didn´t succeeded on the whole server but now it is only one DLE, that is really strange!
Any ideas
Sylvia
