From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: I think that DUMP SUMMARY section of the amanda report needs some reformatting. Currently, it displays stats in kilobytes, which forces sizes to overlap with times. Not good. I beleive that MBytes or even GBytes can be used instead of KBytes. Please see the sample output below. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure amanda to backup some large filesystem (20GBytes). 2. Configure amanda to email job reports. 3. Check the DUMP SUMMARY section of the report Actual Results: DUMP SUMMARY: DUMPER STATS TAPER STATS HOSTNAME DISK L ORIG-KB OUT-KB COMP% MMM:SS KB/s MMM:SS KB/s -------------------------- --------------------------------- ------------ backupsrv.fr / 0 2351310 349856 14.9 5:191096.2 1:164603.9 ldap-master. / 0 630430 213920 33.9 1:511922.0 0:494408.6 Expected Results: There should be some space between time and size statistics. Additional info:
Did you try changing the columnspec entry in your Amanda config file? That's the usual method of keeping the columns from running into each other.
This solves the display problem as of now, thanks. Still, backup sizes do grow and indication in Kilobytes requries some thinking, while Gigabytes (or Terabytes) would be much easier to read.
