Hmm, so it seems that parrallel dumping is incompatible with my goal
writing to tape in decreasing size. Although if the taper were set to
wait until all dumps were completed, I could set dumporder to "TTTTT"
and presumably achieve the fastest overall dump time while still writing
to tape in the desired order.
Run amdump without tape and then run amflush to flush the holding disk
to tape.

Thanks, though of that too. Just too cumbersome for daily practice
though, assuming my tape full problem occurs infrequently. Might have
to though.
Actually, the following script as a nightly cron might work:
mt -f /dev/nst0l offline
amdump Data
mt -f /dev/nst0l load
echo "y" | amflush -f Data
mt -f /dev/nst0l offline
Luckily I have a tape drive that responds to "offline" and "load".
Now I'd just have to live with "E"s next to the dump levels in my
amoverviews, and twice as many emails.
Thanks again.
