You'd think, but, it doesn't seem to want to do it. Oh, I think I know what's going on. df shows the disk is at 900Gb, the holding area 1.5Gb, but the amanda estimator thinks it's 7.5 Tb (using tar backups). Hard links. Maybe this one I have to do with a filesys dump instead of tar. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJWXhqeAAoJENy2YTBCU1mlgikIAKUoHD/0KVm7/PHKkjvAGNwn wUDf9BpFDkLqkA1v62fzZq4BhQ0mTZGu5LTGUSArupo1isWa+jrFRXuHTJk8bmfR keyGJJOcZxm2I+3In70P2eVLaJ4cedOJaa082vILGJg5jRSedl0E/kzvh3XVkBG/ 5blkM8nh9I7/DtXixZ2XcNtqVumiL6wckPCfbeZNxyuNqEFTmv09YfFgcixB7+eR WcssNsefsv/FXs94trpmb6sBU5xhIhC8l7N/BoFN6tUuiB3Qon3mMr9idH5DAqhb ubiy1DmBc7nqOBtG2vxtIhJobSL2y1+98oc2CpSoinrPSPMiu/khdnRwDznvuHY= =zKjN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
