As you wrote R>> I still have close to 4 to 5 backup R>> dumps created by amanda in my holding space [which failed across various R>> weeks]. I have to assume that amdump is not working, either. How many amanda-processes are running already? Try to kill all the amdump/amflush-processes, they seem to lock each other. Run amcleanup afterwards, then amcheck. After that amflush should run fine. -- best regards, Stefan Stefan G. Weichinger mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
