AIUI this is an approximation of the amount of space a filemark occupies
on tape. Filemarks seperate files on tape, and because amanda stores
each disk in the disklist in a seperate file on tape, it must account
for any loss of capacity due to filemarks when estimating. IIRC though
this value is not currently used by or necessary for amanda so it's
perfectly safe to set it to zero which is what most of the tapetype
entries you will find in the FAQ-O-Matic and here on the list have set
it to.
