It apears to be quite hard to balance for amanda using whole file systems.
Would it not be more conveinent to define subdirs rather than mountpoints
in the disklist? (could one do that anyway?)
You can use subdirs in the disklist if you use GNUtar as backup program.
And yes, it's easier to juggle small things around than a few large ones
(all relative to the tapesize).
However, when amanda runs the first few times, it has too many DLE's
(DiskList Entries) that are all due, and she tries to scram as much
as possible on the give tapesize. After two, three cycles, things
should have levelled out however. To avoid the rush to tape during the
first days, some people add entries to the disklist a few at a time each
day only. Or you could run one or more amdumps extra on the first days,
asuming the tapecycle is larger than the dumpcycle.
