I am trying to find why tar is failing. Here is information, if anyone has
ideas:
'amadmin DailySet1 version' shows where GNUTAR is set:
GNUTAR="/usr/bin/tar"
I verified, and yes, tar is there.
These are in the amanda.conf file:
define dumptype global {
comment "Global definitions"
index yes
}
define dumptype root-tar {
global
program "GNUTAR"
comment "root partitions dumped with tar"
compress none
index
exclude list "/usr/local/etc/amanda/exclude.gtar"
priority low
}
There is only one line in the disklist file:
this.system.consys.com /dev/da0s1a root-tar
this.system is the amanda host (has the tape drive). This partition is the
root partition on the computer.
There is no such file /usr/local/etc/amanda/exclude.gtar as specified in
the definition of root-tar (See above), but I tried a dump with that line
commented out, same result.
Thanks in advance for any ideas! --- Eric
