no holding disk & degraded mode
2006-08-17 05:37:46
Hi all,
I'm running a configuration without holding
disk. Well, there's one defined actually but none of my DLE use it.
Here are some extracts from my config:
holdingdisk
sda2 {
comment "Holding disk on root filesystem"
directory "/var/tmp"
use -4 gb
}
# Usual
dumptype
define
dumptype usual-local {
global
comment "Usual dumptype"
holdingdisk no
}
The problem is that Amanda doesn't write
incremental-only backups on the holding disk when in degraded mode:
*** A TAPE ERROR
OCCURRED: [cannot overwrite active tape daily-backup06].
Some dumps may have been left in the
holding disk.
Run amflush to flush them to tape.
The next tape Amanda expects to use
is: daily-backup07.
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
srv-fhq-bk /home/backup/srv-str-02
lev 1 FAILED [can't dump no-hold disk in degraded mode]
srv-fhq-bk /home/backup/srv-klk-02
lev 1 FAILED [can't dump no-hold disk in degraded mode]
srv-fhq-bk /etc lev 1 FAILED
[can't dump no-hold disk in degraded mode]
...
However, I have enough place to store a few
degraded backups should it be needed. And I would like to take advantage
of the degraded mode while keeping my "holdingdisk no" option
Is there something else I have to configure
or is this an intended behaviour of Amanda?
Regards,
Cyrille
