Dunno.  We'll see... :-)

I'm guessing that, since the problem cropped up with that big
filesystem, that lack of compression was causing me to keep running into
EOT.  Since there wasn't a current full backup, amanda kept trying to do
a level 0, but kept failing because of lack of tape space.  Hopefully,
having enough holdingdisk space will let it compress enough to fit this
filesystem on a tape, and we'll proceed until something else makes me
run out of tape... :-)
