I'm having problems when I try to set amanda up to completely fill my tapes. One of my disklist entries is about 600GB at level 0. I'm using amanda 3.2.1 on a RHEL5 tapehost with Ultrium tapes that hold 200GB. I set: flush-threshold-dumped 100 flush-threshold-scheduled 100 taperflush 100 autoflush yes When I watch amstatus, I see the big DLE tape tape up to 100%, but then it reports a PARTIAL tape. Then all the other DLEs waiting to tape report "process canceled waiting to be taped" and they stay on the holding disk. The report states that 602GB were left on the holding disk. When I set the three variables to 0, taping proceeds normally, and the big DLE and the rest of the DLEs span four tapes correctly. However, most of the time, the tapes are only filled to less than 5%. Any suggestions on what I can do to fill tapes to capacity? Thanks for your help and suggestions. -Kevin
