Someone in the Bacula project used that as a number. I've found that my DDS4's that go bad are basically always above that number, so it makes sense to me. It is a good question though -- maybe we'll see if someone responds. > I was poking around the manual and it looks like VolWrite is incremented > each time the maximum file size is reached.

I believe it is 1GB -- not sure where you found the other thing. > What should sensible values be for VolWrites and VolMounts be for LTO-2 > tapes? Don't know... you'd have to check your media for information on that, or perhaps someplace online that has recommendations for this. These values are fairly easily changed. I, for example, changed that query to exclude disk volumes, as it's pointless to be checking for volumes that do not wear out. > How can I check to see what the default value is for VolWrites? What do you mean? The default "too many" value? All of this is in query.sql which is somewhere in the Bacula tree (should be pretty easy to dig up). - -- ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer III |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGXc1Lmb+gadEcsb4RAjVtAJ9ZqUApHyVYzFrbrrNZcS9osNqwvQCgyBxI NytKhnTtwhEtbzvdCHw/Wmc= =K2av -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
