This is really an ext2/Linux problem, not one with amanda. Having looked around a bit, it does seem like your best option is fsck. *Something* is wrong with the fs, and it may get worse which, of course, means you really want backups. If you *really* can't take the server down to fsck it, you could try tar on that fs -- maybe it'll get by the corruption. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
