Hi,

though the question is fairly old I found the answer just now:

I've got a silly Q myself over this one, and the man page is no

lengthy report on my system with 58 LDE's:

The odd numbers are all in that same column, these culled from
the report I get here.  Also,
dumpcycle=8, runspercycle=8, tapecycle=28, runtapes=1 ATM.

tense columns mean: amdump ran more than once that day. And 'E' stands
for an error. Thus on the 11th Jan amdump ran twice (maybe one started at 00:01 and the other at 23:59), DLE coyote:/misc/deb1 was dumped
at level 1 and then had an error on the 2nd dump.

regards

Georg
