the priority high setting only affects dumps in degraded mode ie. a high
priority partition will be backed up before a medium or low priority
partition if you forget to put a tape in and it begins using the holding
disk.

Subject: Priorities ?
I have a bunch of disks Im amanda-dumping
4 18G disks, a couple od smaller disks and a 420G RAID5 array
Now obviously even a level 3 dump of the 420G dsk array is going to take
longer than a 0 dump of the smalles disks.
Therefore, I'd like ot tell amanda to start work on the 420G disk array
first.
So I gave the 420G disk a priority of high, and all the other disks a
priority of medium.
This does not work.
I then tried making the disk the first entry in the disklist,
didn't work either.
So my question is:
1) How does amanda decide which disks to dump first ?
2) How can I influence this ?
(apart from rewriting planner.c)
