+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #206129 +++ Note: The patch that was applied to 2.5.0p2-4 to correct this issue in FC6 was not included in the F7 build, and the patch never made it upstream from what I can see. Description of problem: After amanda completes the backup of a volume using dump, it incorrectly determines the number of bytes output (before compression, if any). An example from one of my backup partitions (all of my partitions exhibit this behavior) is: - From /var/log/amanda/sendbackup log: sendbackup: time 2.190: 55: size(|): DUMP: 6670 blocks (6.51MB) - From the amanda e-mail report (same size also in the partition's info file): DUMPER STATS TAPER STATS HOSTNAME DISK L ORIG-KB OUT-KB COMP% MMM:SS KB/s MMM:SS KB/s -------------------------- ------------------------------------- ------------- amd64.intern /boot 0 3335 5504 165.0 0:02 2650.0 0:00 64182.8 The output size is always 1/2 of the number of blocks output by dump. It seems like amanda may be counting on 512K block size as opposed to 1024K. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.5.1p3-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure and run an amanda dump backup 2. Compare the output size reported by dump to the size recorded in the status e-mail and the data in the info file Actual results: Size computed is 1/2 the actual size. Expected results: Correct size computation. Additional info: The size estimates used by amanda for planning (before the dumps are performed) are correctly calculated. This seems to really mess with the planner (at least when using the bumppercent config option). The estimates come out approximately double what amanda has in its history for the partition, causing it to not bump to higher level (smaller) dumps. I checked on both i386 and x86_64 machines in my environment, and this miscalculation occurs on both platforms. -- Additional comment from fenlason on 2006-09-26 16:12 EST -- I've got a small patch that appears to work in my test setup. I have a few other bugs to deal with before I push new packages, however.
I applied the patch to F7. I should be in updates-testing soon. I also looked in current upstream version (2.5.2p1) and this bug is fixed in there.
