Amanda users,
I'm sure this is addressed somewhere but I've never seen it
(perhaps because I missed it) explicitely discussed on the list.
My assumption on tape filling is that if dumps are still in
progress that amanda will try to write each DLE to tape as
it completes.
I have no idea what the algorithm is for DLE taping if there
are multiple completed DLEs in the work area.
I have never been able to figure out the tape ordering in when
amflush was being run.
Is there any sort of taper delay algorithm to optimize tape usage ?
In the specific case here - initial look at the output leads me to
think that the only DLE on tape 15 would have fit on tape 14, but
the amdump "notes" section says otherwise.
Given the number of DLEs on tape 14 I wonder if the time/size are
correct, could that be the value of the last DLE dumped rather
than the total of all DLEs on the tape volume ?
Do we know what happened here and why ?
I realized the version of amanda is somewhat old 2.4.4p2... since
this system does have a jukebox I'll probably been looking to
install 2.5 after the beta (released yesterday) has been vetted,
at which time well start using tape spanning.
thank you,
Brian
