I recently discovered one of my newly added hosts has not backed up at
all due to the fact that it's dump size was larger than a single tape.
I always dump my servers to holding disk before they are put to tape so
it took me a little while to realize it was saying it was bigger than
the available dump space on tape rather than on holding-disk.
So I went and changed my config to be this:
runtapes 10
tpchanger "chg-manual"
changerfile "/etc/amanda/Macs/chg-manual.conf"
changerdev "/dev/null"
And changed my dumptype entry to this:
define dumptype user-tar {
global
program "GNUTAR"
comment "user partitions dumped with tar"
priority high
tape_splitsize 2 Gb
compress none
index
}
When I attempt to do a dump however all I get are mailed requests
(every two minutes) with the subject:
Macs AMANDA TAPE MOUNT REQUEST FOR SLOT 2
and the body says:
insert Amanda tape into slot x (tape:/dev/nst0)
My chg-manual.conf file looks like so:
resend_mail=3600
timeout_mail=43200
request="tty_email"
I really only want this to happen if I am doing an amflush. Is there an
easy way to fix/change this behavior?
