hello,
i have some disk that are too big too fit on one tape. I thought this is no problem anymore since amanda 2.5 but i experience a strange behavior. I think amanda would split this big dump onto multiple tapes now. But when it finished the first tape it dumps the same chunks onto the next tape, and on the third tape .... So it actually never finished taping such a big disk. And this ruin the whole backup, because it stucks on such a big disk forever.

Is there an other workaround than splitting the disk in smaller parts?

Greetings,
Karsten Fuhrmann
