I'm running Fedora Core 5, and the same version of Amanda. Last night my computer crashed, so I ran fsck on everything. There were numerous errors on my / file system, where /var/lib/amanda resides. If those were real errors I would think that fsck would have caught them. I note in my yum.log: Oct 07 08:58:06 Updated: tar.i386 2:1.15.1-15.FC5 I started seeing those error messages after October 7. Possibly this is a bug in the latest FC5 tar? I'll check bugzilla later today. Things I have not yet tried: rolling back to the previous version of tar; deleting the offending files. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
