Yes, I would also prefer fixing the bug in Amanda than doing a workaround
in the kernel. However I found a way to circumvent the problem, which
works at least for me. Most of the filesystems' names to be backed up
start with /projekte/memo so I simply set a link from /pm to point to
that directory. I had to replace /projekte/memo by /pm everywhere in the
log files as well as in the disklist, curinfo, index and the gnutar-listdir,
but everything works fine now. The only problem will be to restore something
during the next month or so, because the tapes still have the long names
on it :-)
