 I'm not a Linux guy, but this is the one where Linux does not have
 a conventional entry for / in /etc/fstab, right?

Nope.  / has an entry in fstab just like everybody else.

 So if you're using tar, amanda cannot do the reverse-lookup from
 device name to mount-point (directory path).
 
 Solution is to use directory names in disklist, not device names.
 Much easier to read, anyway.

Actually, it's a bug in amanda-2.4.2p2, fixed by the advfs.patch and/or 
2.4.3.  Even with directory names in the disklist, you'll hit this.

 It's probably unfortunate that example/disklist uses device name
 syntax, n'est pas?

This I'll agree with.

Well, not *just* like *everybody* else:  :-)

Solaris:
#devicedevice  mount   FS  fsckmount   mount
#to mount  to fsck point   typepassat boot options
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0  /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0  /   ufs 1   no  logging
/dev/dsk/c1t3d0s7  /dev/rdsk/c1t3d0s7  /local  ufs 2   yes logging

Linux:
LABEL=/ /   ext3defaults1 1
LABEL=/local/local  ext3defaults1 2

But you're right, I was wrong, sorry for the misinformation.
