Yes, I also had problems with dump timing out on RH7.1, tar works great though. When I had this problem, people hit the list with information about Linus saying that dump should not be expected to always work correctly after kernel 2.4.x. Perhaps this should be included in the Amanda documentation? -- Chris Dahn, SERG Code Ninja 3141 Chestnut St. Attn: MCS Department Philadephia, PA 19104 Office: 215.895.0203 Fax: 215.895.1582 <->Software Engineering Research Group<-> Feel the SERG! http://serg.mcs.drexel.edu/ CAT 186, The Microwave http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=Christopher+Dahn&op=index
