NetApp and amanda
by David Drum 13 Jan '98

13 Jan '98

Hello, I was wondering if anyone uses amanda to backup their NetApp(s)? Regards, David K. Drum david(a)more.net -- It's hard to be bored when you're as stupid as a line.

Usenet: Crosspost - File Exists error
by Ronan Mullally 13 Jan '98

13 Jan '98

We've just installed a 540 to provide back-end storage for our news system. Since going live the INN error log has been full of the following messages: crosspost cant link alt/jobs/16941 misc/jobs/offered/24616 : File exists crosspost cant link talk/politics/misc/2349 alt/feminism/944 : File exists It appears that the crosspost daemon is generating this error while trying to create the necessary hard links for *every* crossposted article (I have yet to verify this) it encounters. The link *is* successfully made, and the article appears in the directory but the error log contains tens of thousands of error messages per day. Before switching to the filer we encountered no such problems. The INN feeder system is a Pentium running Linux 2.0.33. The filer is a 540 running 4.3R4. I encountered the same problem on a 210, also running 4.3R4. I've tracked the error down to the following code fragment (backends/crosspost.c line 172): /* 2nd try to link */ lnval = link(names[0], names[i]) ; if (lnval < 0 && errno == EXDEV) { #if defined(DONT_HAVE_SYMLINK) ... symlink stuff removed ... #endif /* defined(DONT_HAVE_SYMLINK) */ } else if (lnval < 0) { (void)fprintf(stderr, "crosspost cant link %s % names[0], names[i]); perror(" "); } So it appears that link() is returning an EEXISTS error. The link() man page includes the following: BUGS On NFS file systems, the return code may be wrong in case the NFS server performs the link creation and dies before it can say so. Use stat(2) to find out if the link got created. Has anybody come across this before? What is to blame - INN, Linux or the filer? -- Ronan Mullally 'In the Beginning there was Network Manager nothing, which exploded.' Ireland On-Line -- Terry Pratchett.

Snapshot overhead.
by Gregory Gulik 28 Dec '97

28 Dec '97

I think this has been discussed already, but I can't seen to get to the archive any more. Is there a way to tell how much disk space overhead there is from using snapshots?

Selective snapshotting
by Brian Tao 14 Dec '97

14 Dec '97

Any plans to offer selective snapshotting per directory tree or quota tree? e.g.: I would love to have snapshots for the /www and /home quota trees, but not for /news and /mail (all four reside on the same filer). -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob(a)netcom.ca) "Though this be madness, yet there is method in't"

NetApp backup to a Quantum 4700
by rasmus＠bellglobal.com 12 Dec '97

12 Dec '97

I am sure this is documented somewhere, but I haven't run across it yet. The NetApp documentation suggests estimating the number of tapes and then specifying the command-line dump command such that tape handling is done correctly for the number of tapes needed. I'd prefer to let the 4700 do it by itself in auto mode. Can I just use a very large -B value and pretend that my stacker is one big tape or are there other tricks? -Rasmus

Re: MS-SQL on CIFS shares?

>Oh, it is definitely MS SQL. It wants a real NTFS share with full NTFS >security. Just wondering if anybody has found a way around this. Rasmus, We at NetApp have "found a way" to run SQL server off a NetApp CIFS mounted share. However, it is not yet fully tested or supported by either Microsoft or NetApp. So, we're not promoting this solution and our sales or support people will not be able to help. At the same time, we are interested in hearing from people who like this solution, and your specific reasons for it. Send me an email directly, as this will help Microsoft and us - to justify documenting, testing and supporting it.
