The advfs.patch does more than just fix problems with advfs. It also
deals with some Linux LABEL= issues in /etc/fstab. It may still not
apply to your setup, but just in case.

You can use chg-manual to emulate a changer with a human.

I think you're going to have to split your configuration up by hand
into groups of clients/disks that fit on a single tape. Or else use
chg-manual.

You've backed Amanda into a corner by not giving it enough tape to do
what you insist it does. It's doing the best it can :-).
I'd need to see the planner section of amdump.NN to dig more into why
strategy noinc didn't do as expected.
