I have a tapetype size set at about 9.5GB, and a normally done backup, on a 5 day schedule will amount to about 5.5GB per nightly run. It tried to do the whole 27GB in one swell foop last night. And predictably ran out of 'tape' so there is about 3.3GB left in the holding disk after the compression. Amanda will autoflush that tomorrow night, so its not a huge problem, but it sure will mess with the old girls scheduling algorithms for the next few dumpcycles. So the question then is: Is this unavoidable, or should I file a bz against it? The manpage doesn't mention anything in this regard. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
