However, I've noticed that every time Amanda doesn't find a writeable
tape (usually due to the tape not being changed that day) there is very
little data written to the holding disk and the amflush is very very
small. The day after this, the dump is much larger than usual
compensating for this. When we change the tapes every day, each tape is
usually around 50% full. On a day when we forget to change the tape or
are unable to change the tape the amflush results in about 0.5% tape
useage, and the day following the day we did the amflush tape useage is
usually 85-90%. Is this how it's supposed to behave? How can I fix it
to do a normal dump to the holding disk on days when either we can't
change the tape or we forget to change the tape?
Read up on the 'reserve' parameter in amanda.conf, its default value, and
its effects on degraded mode dumps.
