upgrade to 2.5.1p1 running extremely slow
2006-11-07 11:23:54
So,
Last night was the first run of my upgraded Amanda server. In fact,
this morning is too... since it's still running and is only about 1/4 of
the way done. (it used to take about 4-5 hours on average... this one
has been running for 10 so far) The server CPU is pegged with tar and
gzip processes (mostly tar), even though I'm only backing up other
machines via dump. Did Amanda always use tar when writing dumps to
tape and I'm just now noticing it? The only changes after the upgrade
to the config files was the addition of "tape_splitsize 20 Gb" to the
global section of Amanda.conf.
Here's the disklist entry for the currently dumping remote host:
bertha /dev/aacd0s2g comp-user
Here are the relevant amanda.conf entries:
define dumptype global {
comment "Global definitions"
index yes
tape_splitsize 20 Gb
}
define dumptype comp-user {
global
comment "Non-root partitions on reasonably fast machines"
compress client fast
priority medium
}
Debug logs don't show anything out of the ordinary.. I'm currently
using GNU tar 1.13.25 and FreebBSD 4.7 on that system. Another anomaly
that I find strange is that the dump area is not being used by the
remote hosts. The initial amcheck showed no complaints about the
holding disk being full or permissions issues. ??? Should I not
have used my existing config files and built them from scratch?
Anything else I might be overlooking?
Thanks
