I believe you have a problem with the filesystem that holds /var. Is it full? Or is it corrupt? ... Gnutar creates a file in the directory /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists for its listed-incremental feature. And accessing that file somehow triggers the errors "Invalid time stamp" and "Invalid inode number". Maybe because /home is larger, and thus while backing up /home the error occurs, while backing up /etc, the listed-incremental file is much smaller, and does not trigger the error. I would unmount it and run a filesystem check on it (for /var, that means probably booting into single user mode). -- Paul Bijnens, xplanation Technology Services Tel +32 16 397.511 Technologielaan 21 bus 2, B-3001 Leuven, BELGIUM Fax +32 16 397.512 http://www.xplanation.com/ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *********************************************************************** * I think I've got the hang of it now: exit, ^D, ^C, ^\, ^Z, ^Q, ^^, * * F6, quit, ZZ, :q, :q!, M-Z, ^X^C, logoff, logout, close, bye, /bye, * * stop, end, F3, ~., ^]c, +++ ATH, disconnect, halt, abort, hangup, * * PF4, F20, ^X^X, :D::D, KJOB, F14-f-e, F8-e, kill -1 $$, shutdown, * * init 0, kill -9 1, Alt-F4, Ctrl-Alt-Del, AltGr-NumLock, Stop-A, ... * * ...
