I can add the following request; posting here for comments:

Don't start writing to tape until a set percentage or amount of data is
ready to write.

autoflush yes
min_tape_usage_before_writing: xx% || xxG

Perodically the last tape used in a run gets one or two small dumps.
tape1 : ... ...   99%
tape2 : ... ...   99%
tape3 : ... ...   99%
tape4 : ... ...    2%   # I could live with these being written tomorrow


bug?: in rare cases (when all DLEs have long dumpcycle and skip-incr)
amanda will mark a tape as used, when no data is backed up.


It would also help with http://www.amanda.org/docs/topten.html#id2552434

Let's face it, there's no Hollow Earth, no robots, and
no 'mute rays.' And even if there were, waxed paper is
no defense.  I tried it.  Only tinfoil works.
