Jean-Louis,
Tried
amflush daily -otaperflush=0
[32][amandaba...@hertz]:~/daily% amflush -otaperflush=0 daily
Today is: 20100714
Flushing dumps from 20100713231043 to tape drive "c4".
Expecting a new tape. (The last dumps were to tape D01013)
Are you sure you want to do this [yN]? y
Running in background, you can log off now.
You'll get mail when amflush is finished.
And did not get in error messages but the amanda email report said
*** THE DUMPS DID NOT FINISH PROPERLY!
There are 276277M of dumps left in the holding disk.
They will be flushed on the next run.
So somehow the -o option is not overriding the amanda.conf file.
Thanks
Robert
