Greetings all;

Running 2.6.0p2 here.  Only this box in the disklist.

Last night it apparently thought it had to do the whole system, and of course
failed since my 'tapesize' is only 12.5GB.  It mailed me this:

*** THE DUMPS DID NOT FINISH PROPERLY!

Hostname: coyote.coyote.den
Org     : The Coyote Den
Config  : Daily
Date    : October 29, 2008

These dumps were to tape Dailys-15.
There are 96k of dumps left in the holding disk.
They will be flushed on the next run.

The next tape Amanda expects to use is: Dailys-16.

(brought to you by Amanda version 2.6.0p2-20080926)

Since I'm running vtapes, a verify pass is essentially free, so that is
also being gone by my backup.sh script, which is part of the
GenesAmandaHelper package, and that returned this error message:

Warning: no log files found for tape Dailys-15 written 2008-10-29 01:25:02
Fatal error from changer script: /usr/local/libexec/amanda/chg-disk: need 'rwx' 
access to '/usr/local/etc/amanda/Daily' 
at /usr/local/sbin/amcheckdump line 78

The previous 2 or 3 days it had only been doing around 8GB, and didn't seem to
be shuffling things to fill up the tape like it should have.

I can remember when I was using DDS2's a couple of eons ago, that it would 
very reliably fill a DDS2 tape to 98% capacity every night.  I haven't 
changed my amanda.conf since then other than to enable autoflush, and after
converting to vtapes, adjusting the tapesize since then.

'estimate' is not set & should then default to client, the most accurate 
method.  But planner doesn't seem to be listening very well.

Ideas anyone?
