>The patch works for me, what's your /proc/mounts and /etc/mtab entry?
/proc/mounts:
/dev/root / ext2 rw 0 0
/etc/mtab:
/dev/hda1 / ext2 rw 0 0
/etc/fstab:
LABEL=/ / ext2 defaults 1 1
./getfsent /:
device of `/': /dev/root
dirname of `/': /
fstype of `/': ext2
./selfcheck:
ERROR [could not access /dev/root (/): No such file or directory]
I'm not sure why you asked about /etc/mtab. While it has the right
value, we don't look at it in Amanda (which might be the real problem).
We look at /proc/mounts (which has the wrong /dev value) and MNTTAB,
which is /etc/fstab (which **really** has the wrong /dev value :-).
Maybe we need to look in a third place?
Did you maybe go ahead and create /dev/root and /dev/rroot and that's
why it works for you?

I agree we should try to properly pre-diagnose a permissions problem
dump will have. I just don't see it happening unless we (hard code)
add /etc/mtab to the list of places to try and look (in addition to the
other changes you and Alexandre have made to p2).
