Does anyone have any more suggestions I can look into for resolving my sda3

Hi, Brian,

What does amcheck report?
Is /dev/sda3 readable for the AMANDA-user?
What does ll /dev/sda[13] tell you?

Look up the logfiles (/tmp/amanda, /var/adm/amanda)

Did you configure and make AMANDA as AMANDA-user? Installed it as
root?

What does amadmin yourconf version say?

What filesystem is sda?  ext2 reiserfs? ...
What is in the debug file on the client:  /tmp/amanda/*.debug
concerning this DLE ?
(I thought someone already asked, but I never saw the answer.)

I don't understand what you are asking by All the ones relevant to
/dev/sda3 ?

I've tried with DUMP and GNUTAR, currently configured to run gnutar.

are any switches needed in the grep /dev/sda3 command ?


I have cleared /tmp/amanda and running it now

You never posted (afaik) which program you used to
dump the filesystem (dump or gnutar).
Do a grep of /dev/sda3 or the mountpoint for gnutar
in the files.

Another easy one:  the middle numbers are datatime stamps.
If that is still too much work, remove all those files in
/tmp/amanda, then run it once,  and look through all files
that just got created.

Remember ON THE CLIENT, not on the amanda server.

Tar deals with filesystems, not devices, so you need to either use
dump on /dev/sda3 or use tar on the path where it it is mounted.

Even with tar on a device you should still get a tar image, it
just won't be what your expecting, so you still have a problem.

Let us know what's in /tmp/amanda on the client when it's done.
