OK I now appear to be able to backup my DLE again after applying the
patch posted and rejigging the DLE sizes.

But I now have a number of tapes marked as active but empty

>>From the output homes_02 has no data on it but amanda will not write to
it as its marked as active.

Does the no-reuse or reuse reset these flags of is there another way???

Also this version which I compiled from source seems much slower than
the rpm originally installed. Would an change from 2.4.2p2 slow
performance?

Thanks Jeff
