Hello, guys, 
I've been asking about the "retry behavior" and how to delay the dumps about 
couple days ago. Dump delaying conf. command worked (somewhat - as far as dump 
delaying goes ;) ), but it does not seem to solve the problem - we still have 2 
FS failing, because of "No space left", and only 2 tapes actually used (with 4 
scheduled). 

I checked the amdump file for what was going on and here is the related section 
of it: 
--------------------------
driver: dumping host:hercules directly to tape
driver: send-cmd time 34444.553 to taper: PORT-WRITE 00-00029 host fffff

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
--------------------------
so, AMANDA advanced to the next tape, the taper request to retry was actually 
made, but "serial gen mismatch" has happend. 

I searched google for the phrase - and did not find anything helpful about this 
error. 
Does anybody know what is this error means and how to deal with it? 


Also, I'm positive, that we had enough space for holding disk to hold this 
particuar FS. Why did it start "directly to tape" (log's the very first line)? 

Thanks.
