Didn't you say the problem occured when you switched from HW to SW
compression? I've not heard anyone else encountering problems,
so your's may have been an edge case. But presumably you will
not change from HW to SW compression every 3 months.
You got me wrong! I never used HW compression. I started with
software compression from the beginning. But I had to switch off
hardware compression by hand before the first use. I would feel
better if I find the cause of my problems.
I recall 4 alternatives to deleting the configuration (with warrenties
commensurate to the cost of the software). If none of them suits your
fancy, perhaps a start-over will.
- lie to amanda about the tapelength until things settle down
- delete the curinfo files for the troubling DLE and accept the
default comp-rate
- ditto and set a comp-rate in our amanda.conf
- edit the curinfo files and add a set of fake historical comp-rates
