Re: large filesystem timeouts - is there a better way

Hi
Thanks, Steve
when I use estimate calcsize on my two filesystems I get the
following when I run amcheck
ERROR: hostname:/partition does not support CALCSIZE for estimate,
using CLIENT.
my two clients are 2.4.3 and 2.4.4p1 are these two clients too old
to support the calcsize option. I can not use estimate server since
these two filesystem have never been backed up by amanda and so the
server can not provide an estimate, correct.

Hi Steven
Thanks for your quick reply, but can you elaborate further but does
this mean "set estimate to server"
>From the man page for amanda.conf:
estimate client|calcsize|server
Default: client. Determine the way AMANDA does it’s estimate.
· client:
Use the same program as the dumping program, this is the most accurate
way to do estimates,
but it can take a long time.
· calcsize:
Use a faster program to do estimates, but the result is less accurate.
· server:
Use only statistics from the previous run to give an estimate, it takes
only a few seconds
but the result is not accurate if your disk usage changes from day to day.
