I had a problem with one hard drive partition.  I have 5 - 35GB partitions,
and one of them was marked full at 85GB size. I had an 85GB save set in this
partition (and 2 others). The other partitions were OK, but after the data
was staged out of these three partitions, the disk partition remained "full"
at 85GB's. The only way to clear this was to re-label the disk partition.
Took about 10 seconds but still I shouldn't have had to do this.....

I have heard from at least one other person that when the partition get full
networker sometimes has problems with it until it is re-labeled.

Subject: Re: [Networker] Staging in Networker?


I'm a little late in reading the emails, so forgive the delay.  I was using
staging with networker on version 6.0.1.  It worked great.  I wasn't using
the high/low watermark though.  I had set up a scheduled task and a batch
script (I'm running server on NT4 SP6a) to perform the staging.  This way I
could control what clients were staged and when.  I staged based on the age
of the backup instead of a watermark.  Obviously I took the size of the disk
into account when determining the age at which to stage each client.  I
wasn't staging a lot of clients so the overhead of maintaining the script
file wasn't a problem for me.  I did have just one disk partition to which
the files were saved.

I also set up another disk partition to handle on-demand backups so that
user initiated backups were fast.

But after using it for about one year, it just stopped working.  First
backing up to the file type device no longer worked.  The file-type device
would be marked full at 10GB when it had 350GB of space available.  Then
staging began to fail - although I can't remember what errors I was
receiving.

Calls to Legato indicated first that I should upgrade to 6.1.2 which did fix
the staging errors, but not the disk being marked full prematurely.  They
next said I had to upgrade to version 6.2, which I haven't done yet.  I am
really hoping that this will fix my problems as I would love to get back to
staging my data.  Makes the evening backups complete so much faster.
