You want a holding disk. Even though your tape is 'disk', taper can only
write to one disk file and without a holding disk, a single dumper has to

Hello all,
I have found some errors that I get on my tape drive, I know

I agree with your assessment, I need to understand Amanda a little
better before I will understand if a GUI makes sense. I have just found
the "chapter" so once I get done reading this I may have a better
understanding than I do now.
