Thanks > in advance. 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. Paul. -- One Shift, Two Shift R e d S h i f t, B l u e S h i f t
