As has been mentioned (and as a simple search of the archives would tell
you), there is a spanning patch out there being tested by various folks.
You could be one of them.

This can happen for a variety of reasons. Sometimes a DLE grows between
estimate time and dump time. If you're using software compression and
it's a relatively new DLE (or the nature of the data changes), amanda's
estimate of the compressed size can be inaccurate. It's *impossible* to
anticipate every situation, although I believe amanda does a pretty good
job. I do agree, however, that the taping logic could be smarter when
images on disk are too big for either the tape or how much tape is left.
As an aside, I really think you need to rethink your attitude. Your
subject line is incredibly unprofessional, as is your general attitude
toward the amanda community.
