do so to the platters. But modern IDE disks perhaps are indeed doing this.
I haven't had a bad sector on such a disk in years.

So presumably, it was unable to use ports 850 - 859. I'm unaware
of anything else using these ports on either the client or the

Hi,
I had an unusual thing happen with the backup of a Samba share on Friday night. I had
added the share for Thursday night's run, but it had failed with a data timeout. I
think the holding disk may have run out of space (a bigger one is on its way).
I had enabled client compression to try an
ut on stdout -- it
emails it.

Has anyone attempted anything like this before? It doesn't seem
that unusual, does it?
Finally, is there any reason *why* GNUTAR_LISTED_INCREMENTAL_DIR

Any suggestions/advice/heckling appreciated...

Trying to use a STT2A with nht0 was a DISASTER! amlabel could write
labels, but not read them, so I couldn't even get started with amdump.
Worse, attempts to run amdump or amlabel caused the machine to freeze
completely on occasion, requiring a power-cycle reboot...
No such problems with ns
processes lingering on the
client and server, only a couple on the client, but TONS on the
server, what could be causing this, or is this normal? Thanks

So anyone have any clue as to what this error really means? its exceptionally vague
since this machine uses these partitions, therefore they cannot be offline...
any ideas?
