You get this when your disk partition is bigger than the holding area that
you've allocated. Either make more space for holding or set that file system
to holding-disk in your disklist config file. Note, this doesn't imply that
this partition will be used for holding, it just means that it's dumps will
go directly to tape.
I wish there was a way to tell it to put it on the holding disk if it can,
otherwise go straight to disk. That'd make my life happy.
