Oh, and when I ran amflush, it said
Scanning /home/amanda...
Could not find any Amanda directories to flush.
So there wasn't really anything to flush anyway? Is this error not
really an error?

Subject: 'No space' past end of allotted size
I have a tape type with these lines in it:
length 6680 mbytes
filemark 0 kbytes
I just ran a dump that came back with this error:
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [[writing file: No space left on device]].
Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk.
Run amflush to flush them to tape.
...
Tape Size (meg) 4678.9 3501.8 1177.0
...
taper: tape daily7 kb 6851712 fm 30 writing file: No space left on device
6851712 kb is MORE than 6680 mb. I know Amanda only uses the
tapetype settings for planning, but it seems that it shouldn't plan
more data to dump than it is given in the tapetype.
The other strange part is that the statistics say it taped 4678.9 mb.
How does that work? Is my filemark wrong? Did it use the extra 2012 mb
as filemarks? If so, why did tapetype create the tapetype with a
filemark of 0 and how do I figure out what the write one is?
Thanks,
