Since the wrapper described on
http://www.amanda.org/docs/howto-wrapper.html runs on the client, the
wrapper won't work if the client is asleep.

With a configurable statement to ignore certain errors, there is a
chance that I will find real errors.

Yes, turn it on.
Of course, you should look at it in a few days and see if it is really
what you want. The backups will not be lost by turning on the flag.

When I run with:

the size of the flushed data is not taken from the total size of the
tape.
Is there a way, when using autoflush, to have the amdump use the tape

This sounds like a good idea.
There was a bug in the amanda.conf, which I will correct, but the

in parsing.
Essentially, atoi interprets "eth0" as 0, but skip_integer doesn't
skip over anything, so eth0 then gets interpreted as "eth0" for an
interface.
Did interface get introduced after the spindle number? The CVS
interface isn't working now.
