I've used amanda for years (since 1.5 days) on filesystems where 25GB
is dumped to a DTL4000, and never had a problem with it.

Out of curiosity, are other people running it from the command line or
cron?  I think I recall Luke Mewburn saying he ran amanda from cron.  I
always run it from the command line myself...
