Greetings everybody;
I just found a bit of a space waster in the way amanda installs its
libraries.
I inserts the snapshot date into the main library name and then builds
the links based on that.
Unforch, that had gone on un-noticed and I had a set of identical
libraries in /usr/local/lib that amounted to around 50 megabytes
worth.
So those with space constraints that are also building each snapshot
should probably take a good look at your lib dirs and see if you've
also have many copies of the amanda libraries that can be subjected
to a quick game of space patrol, leaving only the newest dated ones.
I don't know if this is intentional, I suspect it was, but I fail to
see any compelling reason for it. Most of the time if a new snapshot
fails, one can step back a snapshot and redo the make install to
revert.
Discussion perhaps?
