I'm running AMANDA 2.4.2; one of my clients is a workstation using XFS. I've been happily backing it up for several months. However, there's now a quite large file on the partition which will easily fill our backup tapes.
Checking the xfsdump manpage, I see that the -e option to xfsdump will cause it to skip files with the SGI_XFSDUMP_SKIP_FILE attribute[1]. Having solved dump's problem, I need to modify rundump (I think) to pass -e to xfsdump. I'm guessing this means making changes to the AMANDA sources, which I'm perfectly happy to do, but it isn't easy to find where to make the change. Little help? jason [1] : For other XFS newbies, there's a brief section further down that explains how to set this attribute on a given file. -- Jason Henry Parker ``Choose mnemonic identifiers.
