Orion,
Yes, that is what I'd understood your message to be saying.
I was wondering aloud (aloud, is that the right term in email?)
because the behaviour you are seeing... it doesn't allow for the
type of taper scheduling that one might first think of when
implementing the taper algorith. My though was to reinforce your
message as I agree that the taper algorithm needs to take into
account the completable but non-finished dumps.
Yeah, I would love it if amanda waited until the largest dump that would
fit on the tape completed before writing anything to the tape. This
would result in a longer dump process, but I wouldn't mind because tape
time is small compared to dump time for my setup.
