Hi Guys,
I am trying to back up a couple of bigger partitions on my Beowulf cluster.
Some of these Partitions are bigger than the tapes. But that shouldn't work
anyway shouldn't it????
I am attaching the mailreport for clarification.
How do I get it to back up the big partitions on the nodes???

Thanks
Axel

These dumps were to tape DMP02.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.
