What is the significance of netusage parameter and network interface definition 
in amanda configuration file? Are they related to each other? 

The holdingdisk space can be specified by 'use' parameter. The conf file says a 
non-positive value means use all space but that value. Does it imply all 
available space minus the specified value? 

In the middle of my backup process I got this message from Amanda:

Subject: lab AMANDA PROBLEM: FIX BEFORE RUN, IF POSSIBLE
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /space/amandahold/atlab-desktops: 105584 MB disk space 
available, using 105484 MB
WARNING: skipping tape test because amdump or amflush seem to be running
WARNING: if they are not, you must run amcleanup
Server check took 0.101 seconds

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 1 host checked in 14.881 seconds.  0 problems found.

Is it related to the holdingdisk space allocated? I didn't know how to fix it 
and simply ignored this message. The backup process ran smoothly though. Can 
anyone please explain what could be the problem / where to look for it?
