Not certain I understand the question(s). Assuming there is a usable holding disk available, amanda will dump one or more (depending on the configured number of dumpers) DLEs simultaneously to the holding disk. No DLE collecting on the holding disk is transfered to tape unless it has finished dumping successfully. If there is no holding disk available, then one DLE, and only one at a time, are dumped directly to tape (possibly buffered for tape spanning). I collect some of my DLEs on the holding disk without taping by dumping them with the --no-taper option. They are later flushed to tape with amflush or amdump with the autoflush option. > > SUMMARY part real estimated > size size > .... > wait for dumping: 23 140114m ( 33.57%) > dumping to tape : 0 0m ( 0.00%) > dumping : 3 100738m 236457m ( 42.60%) ( 24.14%) > dumped : 95 42799m 40796m (104.91%) ( 10.25%) > wait for writing: 94 42799m 40796m (104.91%) ( 10.25%) > wait to flush : 0 0m 0m (100.00%) ( 0.00%) > writing to tape : 0 0m 0m ( 0.00%) ( 0.00%) > failed to tape : 0 0m 0m ( 0.00%) ( 0.00%) > taped : 1 0m 0m (100.00%) ( 0.00%) > tape 1 : 1 0m 0m ( 0.00%) KDD055 (2 chunks) > > How can I configure amanda to write to tape when a DLE is fully in the > holdingdisk ?
