Hi Stefan,

I did not see a description of the displayunit keyword in the Amanda man
pages, so I took a guess and added "displayunit mbytes" as a line in my
amanda.conf.  That resulted in this error:

"/etc/amanda/DailySet1/amanda.conf", line 505: configuration keyword
expected
"/etc/amanda/DailySet1/amanda.conf", line 505: end of line expected
amreport: errors processing config file
"/etc/amanda/DailySet1/amanda.conf"

Then I tried adding it at the end of my columnspec line:
"...,DisplayUnit=mb" and the report did not fail, but neither did the
units change in the DUMP SUMMARY.  They remained as KB.  And I tried
variations such as "displayunit" (all lower case) and the different
versions of "mb" such as "mbytes".

# amadmin DailySet1 version
VERSION="Amanda-2.4.5b1"

What am I doing wrong?

Maybe the new parameter "displayunit" will help you. It enables you to
display your data in GB instead of MB for example, so columns will also
shrink.

Available in the 245-branch already. Thx to JLM.
