Hi,

[ BTW, I noticed a thread addressing this question yesterday or so 
  but I don't want to hijack it... ]

I just upgraded to 2.4.5 and noticed that if a DLE is sent directly to
tape it is not retried if it hits EOT (a full dump that won't fit in
the holdding space). I have runtapes = 10 and never run into this
problem before, or at least with the previous version I was running,
2.4.4p3-20040805. OS: irix-6.5.x with an STK L80 library and LTO1
Ultriums.

Here is some excerpts form the amdump logfile. In the following look
at yorick:/data/mril/mril2. It's the one that failed.

To me it looks like it was being dumped directly to tape label
stk_40-conf2-000028, it hit EOT and was not retried. amanda
just went on with the other DLEs in her schedule.
