That makes perfect sense, thanks. Basically, whatever version of dump lives on the target host is what defines capabilities in this regard. So still, I'd be limited to, say, ext2/3 filesystems if I tried to use linux dump. Unfortunately this works against solving my problem! I'm trying to use

John, use the -f option on amlabel, it will force an overwrite of the tape label. Truthfully I don't know that there is an amanda mechanism to 'de-label' a tape. Suppose you could always set it to BOT and dd something to the drive. On Tue, Jun 01, 2004 at 12:55:57PM -0700, John Bossert wrote:
