It most definitely did **not** work. The dumps may have happened into
the holding disk, but they did not make it to tape.

First, "man mmap" and look for EINVAL. Amanda is just reporting to you
what the OS told it.
Memory mapping is an operating system service that allows processes to
share memory. There are two types supported by Amanda, mmap and shmget.
My guess is you either do not have these services configured into your
system, or they are limited in some way (i.e. the amount of shared memory
space is controlled but too small).
Beyond that, I can only guess as I don't have experience on your
particular OS. Time to crack open the OS documentation or ask on one
of those newsgroups/mailing lists.
If you do get it worked out, please post the solution back here so it
can be in the archives, and/or add it to the FAQ.
