It is not flushing '.bigcow. Amanda' because it is not on the command
line.
We can change this behavior.
What user expect from dle on the amdump command line:
- dump/flush only the listed dle (actual behavior)
or
- dump only the listed dle and flush everything?
That depends on how you define everything. I would think that if a dle
was neither defined in the amanda.conf file for the configuration nor
listed on the command line, then it should not be flushed. This would
allow for different configurations to share a holding disk.
Otherwise, if it is a dle that is included in the configuration, then
it should be flushed if autoflush is yes.
In my case, my holding disks are larger than is really necessary, so I
tend to use the space as scratch and recovery space fairly often.
There can be a lot of cruft there.
Everything is all what would have been flushed if you didn't specify a
dle on the command line, it include dle that are not in the disklist.
You should use separete directory for others configuration or others data.
