Using Amanda 3.4.5 on Centos 7.4 to backup Linux clients onto 11TB of local 
disk.   Holding area and vtapes are all in the same 11TB filesystem, which is 
now entirely full!

The config started out with:
dumpcycle = 14days
tapecycle =30days
num-slot = 30
under tapetype: length=5000GB and part-size=1GB

I have now cut the dumpcycle down to 10, and the tapecycle down to 20, and was 
hoping Amanda could recover.
But I'm still getting "out of holding space in degraded mode" in the logs, and 
Amanda seems totally stuck.

How would I start over, throw away all the backups made so far, and begin with 
fresh/empty tapes?
Also, after changing the config file, do I have to restart Amanda to get it to 
reread the config?

Thanks, any advice is greatly appreciated...Lyle
