I am having a problem with amanda leaving very large dumps in the
holding area and not writing them to tape. The tapes are 20/40GB tapes,
but a 23GB dump doesn't get written even though there is a blank tape
available. Even if I try to flush this dump, it runs for a long time and
then errors again with "No space left on device."
Are you using software or hardware compression? What does your tapetype
look like?
The dumps were flushed to tapes Progeny01-0043, Progeny01-0044.
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [[writing file: No space left on device]].
Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk.
Run amflush again to flush them to tape.
The next 2 tapes Amanda expects to used are: Progeny01-0020, Progeny01-0021.

You clipped the *really* interesting part -- the line in the NOTES section
from taper. What's that line look like?
Okay. The tapetype is: HP-C5683A.
I'm guessing that the holding area isn't big enough (which I had been
told before I admit, but since it's on its own partition I haven't done
anything about it). I remember hearing that you can combine two holding
areas as one; is that possible for me to add space from another drive
and combine it with my current holding area? Where can I find
instructions on how to do that?
