So, if I have a dump where every item is the same priority, and the
complete dump takes 4 tapes, what happens if I set runtapes to '2'?

Will it fail gracefully, filling 2 tapes with half(-ish) the data one
pass and the other half the next, or will it fail in such a way that I
need to amflush after every run and/or start from the 1st disklisted
partition every time?

(2.5.1p1, RHEL4u4)

Thanks!
JB, trying to avoid having to maintain 2 disklist files and swapping
them back and forth, or some such.

Thanks!
JB
