I've got an amanda setup that has been working nicely for about a month.
I finally missed a backup and now have to do an amflush.  The problem is
that amflush always runs out of tape and fails.

I have a dds2 drive so I originally set the tapesize to 4000mb.  This
worked fine because I never came close to using a whole tape.  Now
amflush does need to use a whole tape, and it runs out of tape at just
over 3500mb.

I then edited my amanda.conf and set tapesize to 3400mb.  However,
amflush still runs out at over 3500mb before failing.

I was hopoing that decreasing the tapesize in amanda.conf would prevent
that.

So what do I have to do to fix this?  Is there something about tapesize
that I can't change it after I have backups running in regular rotation
(i.e. do I need to start a whole new backup configuration with the new
tape size)?
