Hi,

After adding a "new" old server named fav to amanda, I keep
getting the following message:

FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
  fav        /home2 lev 0 FAILED [disk /home2 offline on fav?]

It doesn't matter if the disk is specified by device file or 
mount directory:
 
fav    c1t4d0s6        tar-srv-low    # /home2
fav    /home2          tar-srv-low    # /home2

backup works with all other disks:

fav      c1t5d0s5        tar-srv-low    # /home1
fav      c1t2d0s6        tar-srv-low    # /mnt2
fav     /               tar-srv-low     # /
fav     /usr            tar-srv-low     # /usr
[...]

mount reports:

I already had a look at the FAQ and I'm sure that:
- the disk isn't to large (2 gigs total)
- the file system isn't corrupted (fsck reports OK)
- tar is used for backup, not dump.

so there's the permission problem left, but I'm not really familiar with
sun device files. after a quick look I had the impression that permissions
are the same for all disk device files.

tnx in advance.

regards,
rainer.
