This is mostly a BUMP to your original question. I’m not on amanda 3.4.x yet, but under 3.9.x, I regularly get these /bin/tar: ./efi: directory is on a different filesystem; not dumped type of error messages, and the dump continues quite happily.* * Yes, I could use amgtar to make amanda stop telling me about those. I just haven’t done so yet. Deb Baddorf Fermilab
