>ERROR: scooby: [can not access sda8 (sda8): No such file or directory]
In addition to Robert Crosbie's notes, I'll add this. Amanda must be able
to convert "sda8" to a complete device name via the standard system calls
(e.g. getmntent), which in turn depend on you having your configuration
set up properly, e.g. /etc/fstab. If you don't have sda8 listed in there
(or it's wrong), Amanda is going to have trouble.
If this doesn't get you anywhere, go to scooby and cd to client-src
and "make getfsent", then run "./getfsent sda8" and post the results
(or debug them :-). That runs the same code that Amanda uses to do all
the conversions to/from disk names and file system mount points.
Chris Herrmann asked:
>i thought you needed to use
>/dev/sdan where n is the number of the partition
No, you don't. You may use one of these forms, give the above comments
about system configuration are taken into account:
sda<n> (the block device name)
rsda<n> (the "raw"/character device name)
/dev/sda<n> (full path to the block device name)
/dev/rsda<n> (full path to the "raw"/character device name)
/the/mount/point (file system mount point)
The exact syntax depends on the OS.
