I have an installation where I didn't add or remove DLEs for a long time.
But now an then amanda seems to "forget" a DLE and come up with

samba.intra rootfs lev 0 FAILED [dumps too big, 42606931 KB, but
cannot incremental dump new disk]
The DLE is NOT new. Where does that come from?
Looks like the source file server-src/planner.c generates that message
if the "last_level" data element for the DLE is negative...
What does "amadmin <CONFIG> info <DLE>" report for that DLE (during the
period when you are getting this message, i.e. before the next
successful full dump takes place)?
Well, I have to wait for that, I assume.
On the weekend I forced a lev0 for all DLEs to get a full archive set
onto 4 tapes.
So I have something like:
Dumps: lev datestmp
0 20221204
for all the DLEs right now.
Let me add that this is my "multi storage" setup:
I have 2 storages with separate tape sets, and different dumpcycles.
~50 tapes for the daily backups
~16 for the weekends (where I use 4 tapes per run)
