Strugging with splits in 2.5.0

Hi all,

I'm trying to get amanda 2.5.0 set up on a small network at home.I've got one largepartition I'm using as a disk tape area where I've got DVD sizedtapes that I will burn to

DVD-R as they complete.

My tape size is set to 4000Meg and I've defined my dumptypes to settape_splitsize to

400Meg.

The problem I'm running into is that the split size appears to beignored. I've only set upthe server so far and it's complaining about two partitions (amstatusoutput below):

chekov.otherother.com:/home 0 planner: [dump larger thanavailable tape space,

5089230 KB, but cannot incremental dump new disk]

chekov.otherother.com:/opt 0 planner: [dump larger thanavailable tape space,

14743965 KB, but cannot incremental dump new disk]

These two partitions have the largest usage on my server, whatworries me is that the twoPowerBooks I plan to add each have partitions with significant usageand I expect to see

similar errors when I add them.

Here's the relevant bits from amanda.conf:

define tapetype HARD_DISK {
    length 4000 mbytes
}
tapetype HARD_DISK

define dumptype user-tar-span {
    root-tar
    tape_splitsize 400m
    split_diskbuffer "/opt/amanda/splits"
    comment "tape-spanning user partitions dumped with tar"
    priority medium
}

define dumptype comp-user-tar-span {
    user-tar-span
    compress client fast
}

define dumptype comp-opt-tar-span {
    comp-user-tar-span
    exclude "amanda"
}


and from disklist:

chekov.otherother.com / comp-root-tar
chekov.otherother.com /boot comp-user-tar-span
chekov.otherother.com /home comp-user-tar-span
chekov.otherother.com /opt comp-opt-tar-span
chekov.otherother.com /tmp comp-user-tar-span
chekov.otherother.com /usr comp-user-tar-span
chekov.otherother.com /usr/local comp-user-tar-span
chekov.otherother.com /var comp-user-tar-span


Any ideas?

Thanks much!
Bruce.
