hi,

At each amanda's run, I'm dumping a little bit much more than the size
of one Tape(DLT)80Gb . So as an example:
-if the size of one tape is 80Gb, 
-and that I'm dumping       85Gb,

I will have to use an other 80Gb tape to keep this 5Gb...What a waste!

So I've thought to resolve this problem by appending amdump on 1 tape.

But the probleme is that amflush is not flushing the amanda's run
chronologically.

Let me explain!

80Gb tape

1st Run
85Gb dumped.
75Gb Flushed
10Gb Remaind
---------------------> good!

2nd Run
85Gb dumped on the holding disk
...launch the amflush and specify to flush the 10Gb(from 1st R) and the
85Gb(from 2nd Run)

What I get,,,
amflush is flushing the 2nd run in first place...and then

on the holding disk I get:

10Gb remainding from the 1st Run
10Gb remainding from the 2nd Run.

So how can I tell amflush, to first flush the 10Gb from the 1st Run, and
then after flushing the second Run..??

any idea, will be really welcome
