I don't think Amanda is telling you that the level 0 won't fit on the holding disk. It is telling you that it won't fit on the tape. It isn't even considering putting it on the holding disk, because it knows it can't fit it on the tape. If you want to have Amanda backup more than will fit on the tape and leave the rest for a manual flush, as you describe, you could try a tapetype that claims the tape is much larger than it actually is. The other option is the manual changer configuration. I haven't used this, but my understanding is that you tell Amanda that you have 2 (or more tapes), and that manual intervention is required to go to subsequent tapes. Amanda will fill the first tape for you overnight, and in the morning you change tapes, tell Amanda, and it will use the second tape. No need for a manual flush in this scenario.
