last week I (well, Debian testing) upgraded from 2.4.5p1 to 2.5.0. And suddenly my nightly backups to vtapes started failing with:
| The next tape Amanda expects to use is: DAILY10. | | FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: | anakin /var lev 3 FAILED [no more holding disk space] ... | taper: FATAL could not write tapelist: No space left on device | taper: FATAL syncpipe_get: r: unexpected EOF But I don't use a holding disk, and there was plenty of free space on my vtape partition. Then I noticed that / was 100% full (except for the reserved blocks for root). After making sure there was free space on / for ordinary users, Amanda continued making backups. So I guess 2.4.5p1 used root privileges to write to /etc, while 2.5.0 falls back to user backup.
