Hi!
I had a problem with our taper, so for three weeks or so, I moved stuff
away from the holding disk to other disks with free space, so amanda could
continue to do its backups to holding disk.
Now I have a new taper, and I want to get the old dumpfiles back on tape.
But amanda refuses to flush some of them. Odd.
my conf name is normal:
To begin with, I could amflush repeatedly, amanda would all dumps, but only
accept some of them, the other would be ignored as cruft. next amflush
would accept some other files, some less would be ignored as cruft. Now
I've come to the point where none of the files found in the holding disks
are accepted. They are all found by amflush during its interactive phase,
but then ignored.
$ amadmin normal find
reveals the dumps on the holding disks. But amflush just ignores them:
