making xfs dump work
I've got a Linux workstation which uses xfs as one of its volumes (/dev/md2), but which I can't back up using Amanda because Amanda appears to call /sbin/dump on it, which under Linux blows up (/sbin/dump is ext2/3 only). How do I make Amanda call the right dump program (xfsdump rather than /sbin/dump)? - Julian [ Julian C.

I think you will have to recompile Amanda though but I might be mistaken. HTH jf - Julian [ Julian C.

Oups! Forget that! xfsdump is a package by itself on Debian. Mea Culpa jf * Jean-Francois Malouin [EMAIL PROTECTED] [20060713 15:49]: * Julian C.
