John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yes, this is what the problem was. There were a bunch of entries which I removed. It seems that when amanda fails, it doesn't always free these resources. === Eric Wadsworthemail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Conceptual Systems and Software http://www.consys.com ===

Failure to allocate memory
Finally got everything set up right (I think). Ran my first test dump, and it mailed me a report saying it failed: taper: FATAL shmget: Cannot allocate memory Any ideas? Using FreeBSD 4.0 with a DDS-4 Data Cartridge tape device. I think this system has an Athlon processor in it. Please ask me for any information you might need, and I'll get exact system specs you want and reply. --- Eric
