Thanks in advance!
It was trying to go straight to tape (b/c the image was too big for your holding disk), and failed. So, do two things: 1) Investigate just how big the lev 1 was (via the amanda logs), and, if it's gigantic, track down and LART the users responsible. 2) Wait -- amanda will try to get it again tonight. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
