Hello!
Why doesn't Amanda write these 5 DLEs to tape while dumping the 6th one?
Answering my own questions seems to be this weekend's theme. At least I think I'm on to something... I am not usually awake during amdump runs, but now that I have time to observe it, I noticed that as I wrote the previous e-mail Amanda finished dumping the 6th DLE, went on to dump the next one, but in the meantime she has also taped one small DLE. So it seems that once a dumper is started, Amanda waits for it to finish and only then checks if there is another DLE for the taper to tape. So the current behaviour of taper sitting idle much of the time is caused by combination of 'dumporder sssS' and 'taperalgo first' that I currently have in my config.
