I searched http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amanda-users/ for calcsize and found only 7 results. Most of these were from people listing the contents of the libexec directory. There was one from John R Jackson where he told someone if they wanted to use calcsize to let hims know and he would find the posting about turning it on but there was no reply to that. As I can't find these postings does anyone know anything about calcsize i.e. where to get it, how I configure/use it?
