Jon, I apologize. My email reader, GroupWise, doesn't quote lines, so I'd have to
manually break each line and insert ">". That gets me into trouble with the other half
of the world who want their email readers to adjust line length to the width that they
prefer.
You know, I've never looked at the amanda man page for the 'use' value. I just went by
the comments in the amanda.conf file, which state, "a non-positive value means: use
all space but that value." So I couldn't use 0 (zero) because that would say "use only
zero KB" according to these comments. I used '-0' meaning 'use everything BUT 0 KB'.
Thanks for pointing this out. I'll change it right away, and see if that makes a
difference.
Thanks, again, for your suggestions.
-Kevin

Boy is it hard to send a reply that makes sense when there
is a mixture of unedited top and bottom postings :(

Just a wierd, unlikely, possibility.
The amanda man page says for the "use" parameter
- a positive number means use only that amount
- a zero means use all available
- a negative number means use all EXCEPT that amount
You use parameter fits none of these exactly in that you have
a negative zero. Is it possible the zero is being interpreted
as "all" and the negative as "except"?
