large filesystem timeouts - is there a better way
2006-10-19 18:16:57
Hi
We have a couple of large filesystems that we would like to backup
using Amanda. We are currently using it to backup several hundred other
smaller systems very successfully, but the two systems that we have
struggled to get working are the two largest and most important. Each
file system is ~500GB
The error is the timeout,
ev 0 FAILED [Estimate timeout from
which I understand the meaning of, we have increased it (etimeout)
several times, we are now up to 3hours and still getting a timeout. My
question is the following, is there a way using amcheck or some other
means to find out a head of time what this value is, for a particular
client filesystem? Or should I just set it really large like 24hours and
see what comes back as the estimate.
The next question than is if it does really take many hours just to get
an estimate from these two system, Is there a better way to speed up the
estimate for these large filesystems, is anybody else using amanda to
backup directories trees as large as 500GB.
The Amanda server is 2.4.5p1 and the two clients are 2.4.3 and 2.4.4p1
Thanks in advance
Steve
