Okay, so it's not just me. Thanks. 124 file systems, 2 are due today, all others are due for level 0 in 4 to 6 days. And, of course, amanda usually moves some forward early. Okay, so I switched dumpcycle to 3 and all DLEs to force-bump for tonight's run. amadmin due now thinks there are some level 0's due today. We'll see what happens. Bryan
