Running amanda 2.4.2, and have configured for tapeless operation to spool backups to the holding disk. The holding disk is actually an NFS mounted volume on a SNAP server. Problem I'm having is how to define that 'partition'

the mount is 192.168.0.15:/amt_dump

Normally I would say something like:
holdingdisk amt_dump {
comment "blah"
directory "/bkup/amanda"
use 25 Gb
chunksize 15Gb

Which seems fine to me. What's happening is that lvl 0's on my biggest partition are failing:
amt /dev/sda9 lev 0 FAILED [dump larger than tape, but cannot incremental dump new disk]

Here's the disk usage for that partition:
/dev/sda9 122G 4.7G 111G 5%

There are 188G free on that holding disk! Why is amanda whining about this?

Will this magically go away if I upgrade to 2.4.3 and use the file: driver?
