I have noticed that two large files which are of type GNU tar

underscores and the date and another number are appended)
That has most all of the marks of accidentally including the holding
disk area in a disklist entry, and its going to be recursively
backing itself up till it runs out of disk.
If you want to backup the holdingdisk itself (e.g. because it contains
some other valuable data), then add the "holdingdisk no" directive to
the dumptype of that disklistentry. In that case amanda schedules
this DLE last and bypassing the holdingdisk dumping directly to tape
to avoid (re)cursing.
