drive. I am currently sending 11-13GB to this drive depending on the day...
amanda is telling me my dump is too big and degrading my level 0's to level 1! How is
this possible? I run amdump from a script
I'm a moron...apparently I gave amanda /bin/false when I set her up as a user. She
doesn't like that. Please disregard.
