Building now, I applied it to 4.0-4613.

Last night it promoted about 20 DLE's some as much as 4 days, but the 
balance report stubbornly maintains its going to do a 45Gb backup sunday 
morning.  It is not promoting or adjusting anything over about 4Gb, they 
are apparently untouchable.

After the build/install,
[root@coyote amanda]# su amanda -c "amadmin Daily balance"

 due-date  #fs    orig MB     out MB   balance
----------------------------------------------
 3/23 Fri    0          0          0      ---
 3/24 Sat    4      20596      11128    -24.4%
 3/25 Sun    5      48037      44776   +204.4%
 3/26 Mon    8       7023       3605    -75.5%
 3/27 Tue   19      30582      14054     -4.5%
----------------------------------------------
TOTAL       36     106238      73563     14712
  (estimated 5 runs per dumpcycle)

So it remains to be seen if this patch works.  I've no clue if the amadmin 
/config/ balance uses the code just patched.  I'll find out in the morning 
I guess.

I just parked this on another screen and checked my emails from amanda, 
scanning the planners output, clear back to Feb 24th.  It is as if 
/usr/movies at 16.6Gb does not exist, it never attempts to promote it to a 
less busy run.  Ditto for /usr/pix at 7.5Gb, it is never mentioned by the 
planner.  Those 2 are stuck on the same level 0 day together and have been 
for very a long time.  I would do a one time force on /usr/movies, but that 
would hide the problem only for me.

Could this be a >4Gb problem in the math someplace?

Thanks Jean-Louis

Cheers, Gene
