I'm seeing instances of wasted VTape with amanda switching
to a new tape for the last DLE even though there is room
left on the current tape.

Here is the relevant section from yesterday.

USAGE BY TAPE:
   Label                 Time         Size      %  DLEs Parts
   DS1-010               0:08       10884M   10.6    31    31
   DS1-011               0:51       74205M   72.5     1    15

If combined on one tape it would have only filled 83% of the
tape.  Earlier this month the numberw were worse, 9% and 66%.
Even if a second tape were needed, the last DLE should have
at least started on the first tape.

Ideas?
