I searched the archives; forgive me if I missed something obvious.

I have roughly 12GB of space on my tape. I'm trying to do amflush to get the 
following DLE out of my holding disk:

amflush tries to write this one to tape, but is hitting end of tape. Don't know 
why; unless I'm counting wrong this looks like just over 11GB of data.

I'm using seagate scorpion tape drives. Hardware compression is off.

What I'm wondering is how to gracefully remove this from the holding disk so 
that amanda stops trying to flush it to tape. I don't really need to have this 
particular copy of the DLE on tape; it's a nightly dump of a database and I 
have more recent dumps that make this one obsolete.

Thank you,
