I want to see if I understand this correctly... since my holdingdisk was only 2GB, and the filesystem in question is ~18-19GB, amanda was trying to write it directly to tape. Further, I'm guessing that, because the data wasn't going through the holdingdisk, that that was precluding compression, which is why I was running out of space (since my drive is 20/40). But, then... the drive is supposed to be compressing, isn't it? Maybe I'm still confused... :-) -- John Oliver, CCNA http://www.john-oliver.net/ Linux/UNIX/network consulting http://www.john-oliver.net/resume/ *** sendmail, Apache, ftp, DNS, spam filtering *** **** Colocation, T1s, web/email/ftp hosting ****
