The description of this parameter was pretty hard to understand, we
discussed this last week and the corrected version of the description
in the amanda.8-manpage says:

>The part of holding-disk space that should be reserved for incremental

No more double-negatives, which are hard to wrap your head around.

You understood and explained this very well, nonetheless I hope that
the new explanation will be easier to understand.

More questions??
