Hi all,

on 20 Feb, I have been running my first backup after cleanup the test
results (amanda 3.3.5 compiled on opensuse 13.1).  As expected, the 13
DLEs were all level 0, exceeded the capacity of my DDS4 backup tape and
I needed 2 flushes to get it all on tape. Below the dump summary of the
backup (not the 2 flushes):

This looks fine, but is not.  ALL level 1 backups have identical size as
the level 0 backup done the day before with 2 exceptions: Vbox-1 and
my_data.  This is total nonsensical, the 3 Pictures* DLEs have not been
used/modified and the level 1 should have a size near zero.  Except
my_data, all fiume DLEs use the same dumptype, although Pictures* have
an additional "compress none".

I do not think there is even an option which rules level 1 (or any level)
behaviour, so what is wrong?  Is this a tar problem?  I have never had
these problems with 3.3.1 in opensuse 11.4 (my previous version).

Any advice appreciated and of course I can provide more details/logs.

Regards, Charles
