Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me why amanda seems to split
my filesystem into 2 "holding" files? An error has occurred so these filesare
left on the disk. Here is the filesystem listing:
at the files:

46592    1 drwxr-xr-x   4 amanda   sys           512 Mar 17 00:45
/holding2/schedule8
209664    1 drwx------   2 amanda   sys           512 Mar 13 05:22
/holding2/schedule8/20040312
209666 2301584 -rw-------   1 amanda   sys      2355658752 Mar 13 05:22
/holding2/schedule8/20040312/pokolbin._u20.0.1
209665 31472648 -rw-------   1 amanda   sys      32212254720 Mar 13 05:07
/holding2/schedule8/20040312/pokolbin._u20.0
203840    1 drwx------   2 amanda   sys           512 Mar 17 00:45
/holding2/schedule8/20040317

Has it got something to do with  a 32GB limit? What does the ".1" and ".0" refer
to?
Obviously the ".1" ias the 2nd file of the filesystem??

thanks all. Here is the error email I received:

These dumps were to tape schedule8-WEEK3.
