I'm not a Linux guy, but this is the one where Linux does not have a conventional entry for "/" in /etc/fstab, right? So if you're using tar, amanda cannot do the reverse-lookup from device name to mount-point (directory path). Solution is to use directory names in disklist, not device names. Much easier to read, anyway. It's probably unfortunate that example/disklist uses device name syntax, n'est pas? -- Jay Lessert [EMAIL PROTECTED] Accelerant Networks Inc.
