all,
I have got a weird problem and cant figure out whats wrong.
I get an error during a dump:
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
lalalalala /samba lev 1 FAILED [dump larger than tape, 10101550 KB,
skipping incremental]
so that means its 10.1GB, correct? (The tape is only 4/8gb, but thats not the
questions here).
Yet when I do a "du -s ." inside that /samba directory:
[root@lalalalala /samba] #>du -s .
5.3G .
Thats HALF of what amanda is trying to backup!
I have no idea where the 5GB comes from amanda is trying to dump.
Does Amanda follow symlinks? I thought it does not!
I have two symlinks in there, which COULD encount for the incorrect sizes:
[root@lalalalala /samba] #>find -lname "*" -exec ls -la {} \;
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Oct 8 17:20 ./Shares/SysAdmins/home -> /home/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct 8 17:20 ./Shares/SysAdmins/Profiles ->
/samba/Profiles/
I use these (if I am on a windows box and logged in as SysAdmin)
to fiddle with users profiles or with users home directories.
