Whenever I do my backups, everything dumps fine except for 1 specific
partition (the / (root) partition on a remote machine). I always get the
following error:

I am using Amanda 2.4.2. The host machine is RH6.1 and the above client is
RH5.2. Also, other partitions on the above client dump fine. Any suggestions
as to what I did wrong? Thanks.
