Hi all,

I added a 'big' disk to my disklist yesterday. About 8G.

Should I worry about this? Did only 2G of the backup actually make it to the 
tape?

It wrote 13.5G to tape, and according to your output below, 7.6G of that was 
from
your "beosrv-1 /redhat" disklist entry.  I think the cruft file messages are 
just
a result of the somewhat asynchronous nature of amanda. The chunk files are 
removed
after each set is written to tape but may not be all gone yet when Amanda scans
for other chunk sets to flush to tape.  Anything that it doesn't know what to do
with is reported as 'cruft', whether it is some odd file put in the holding disk
or a chunk that isn't part of a complete set (the chunk files are named as
host.filesystem.level.chunknumber).
 'Notes' are just informative, 'strange' needs to be examined, it may or may not
be a problem, and 'warning' you better pay attention to.

The holding disk is empty after this, and it seems to happen only when a disk
is freshly added to the disklist. If it is due for a full backup lateron, there 
is no
such message.

I've set the chunksize of my holding disk to 2G.

I have to run amdump and amflush in separate runs. This is working fine.
I verify every tape written and that only gave errors once when the tape
was exhausted and completed on the next tape (expected error).

Thanks for any info!

Regards,

Edwin Hakkennes

The next 2 tapes Amanda expects to used are: xic04, xic05.
