That would mean that the estimate phase should be smart enough (may
be add an option "autosplit" for those DLE's where you want that) to
pick a few large subdirectories out and then split the DLE dynamically.
This is not what I have meant. No autosplitting. Just automatically
create appropriate exclude entries. When one sees a DLE starts becoming
too big, just pich one of its subdirs and create a new DLE for this
directory, that's all. No fiddling with exclude list entries any more.
I understood that after your last mail.
The problem with that approach is that the Amanda server does not
know if a subdir is on another mountpoint or not.
It only needs excludes if it is on the same mountpoint.
After my coffee, I'll understand the implications of adding it always,
even if the directory is on another mountpoint:
mounts:
/dev/hda1 on /
/dev/hda3 on /var
with disklist:
pluto / comp-tar
pluto /var comp-tar
pluto /var/spool comp-tar
getting excludes similar to:
pluto / {
comp-tar
exclude append "./var"
}
pluto /var {
comp-tar
exclude append "./spool"
}
pluto /var/spool comp-tar
