And your amanda.conf specifies "tapetype SDLT-320"?
When you say your disk pool is 200GB, I presume that is total data
stored on disk (or storage capacity) but that for amanda's purpose
it is divided up into a number of DiskList Entries (DLEs).
It that a correct presumption? Are any of them larger than 136GB?
Is this the initial runs of a new amanda installation. If so, I'd
recommend not starting with all your DLEs active, bring a few online
each run of amdump. The first time a DLE is seen it must receive a
level 0 dump. So if all are new, it is a massive first dump. Better
to start with one or two DLEs from each host. Then add more the next
run of amdump when the original DLEs will now be getting incrementals.
How is your holding disk space? What have you set reserve to (not
the default of 100% I trust)?
Another possibility is to set runtapes to 2 or more. Amanda will
only use the number of tapes actually needed for that run, but perhaps
the first run needs more than 1. You will need to setup "chg-manual"
also.
