I will check it out, as I think I have not noticed it before.

I will check out the man page about the "reserve" parameter,

Leonid;

That depends on the 'reserve' statement in the holding disk defined in 
amanda.conf, here I have it set to "reserved -500M" meaning it can 
use up to the last 500 megs even for level 0's.  since I have about 
20GB to spare on that partition, and my vtapes are about 6.8GB, its 
not a problem here, ever.  Gavin may not have that statement 
uncommented or configured correctly for his situation.

Probably, but we're guessing here, it means that the dump is too big, 
but since there has never been a level 0 (full) dump done it cannot 
switch to an incremental since there is not a baseline date to 
compare it to on a "since date" comparison.

Why level 0 failed I have no idea.

can't switch to incremental probably means you do not
have a level 0 yet for that DLE and amanda must do
a level 0 before any incremental is valid
(it is incremental from a numerically lower level dump)
