Thank you again.
OK, this says you'll allow Amanda to use 290 MBytes for its holding disk.
Now, search the amdump.1 file for "got result for host" and you'll see
lines like this:
got result for host ledger.cue.purdue.edu disk /opt: 0 -> 1172885K, 1 ->
6144K, -1 -> -1K
This says Amanda estimates a level 0 (full) dump will need 1172885 KBytes,
and a level 1 will need 6144 KBytes.
Since you're not using tape for most runs, add up the non level 0 dump
sizes to get a rough guess as to how much holding disk space you need per
run, then multiply that by the number of runs between calls to amflush,
then add a fudge factor for growth, etc. That's the amount of holding
disk space you'll need. Set the "use" parameter large enough for at
least one run.

Here is the new size of our holding disk space -
