Here is my amanda.conf file with respect to the holding disk -
holdingdisk hd1 {
comment "main holding disk"
directory "/dump/amanda" # where the holding disk is
use -500Mb # how much space can we use on it
# a negative value mean:
# use all space except that value
chunksize -1 # size of chunk if you want big dump to be
# dumped on multiple files on holding disks
# N Kb/Mb/Gb split disks in chunks of size N
# 0 split disks in INT_MAX/1024 Kb
chunks
# -1 same as -INT_MAX/1024 (see below)
# -N Kb/Mb/Gb dont split, dump larger
# filesystems directly to tape
# (example: -2 Gb)
Is the use wrong?
