Yes, that's been noted that it does not go down when savesets are
removed from the volume, but then the same thing happens with real
tapes...  The written counter on adv_file is useful only for
distinguishing the read/write from the read only devices (eg the
written>0 or written=0 query constructs)... 


Afaik,  the networker definition of KB is 1024 bytes,   MB is 1000 * KB,
and GB is 1000 * MB etc.

Subject: [Networker] Adv_file/File Written size differs from summing
SSID totalsize ?

Dears,

Did someone notice, querying mediadb via mminfo for file or Advfile
volumes, that reported written volume size of an AdvFile/File (col
WRITTEN) to not match (nor from near nor far) sum of per ssid total size
(col
TOTALSIZE) ?


mminfo -aq volume=<advfile/file volume> -r written

vs

mminfo -aq volume=<advfile/file volume> -r client,ssid,totalsize


One of my servers gives me

mminfo(Written)-> 1354 GB (   1 GB=1024*1024*1000)

mminfo(sum)    -> 1042 GB (if 1 GB=1024*1024*1024)
mminfo(sum)    -> 1067 GB (if 1 GB=1024*1024*1000)


Bug or feature ? ;-)

Thanks,

TH
