I want to see if I understand this correctly... since my holdingdisk was
only 2GB, and the filesystem in question is ~18-19GB, amanda was trying
to write it directly to tape. Further, I'm guessing that, because the
data wasn't going through the holdingdisk, that that was precluding
compression, which is why I was running out of space (since my drive is
20/40).
But, then... the drive is supposed to be compressing, isn't it? Maybe
I'm still confused... :-)
