Hello,
I just tried doing a test dump and ran into two problems:
1)
When I changed the partitions in my disklist file to the mount points,
it worked except for "/". I did this so the logs and indexes made sense
without having to cross-reference each fstab.
example:
jetstream hda8 nocomp-root
jetstream hda1 nocomp-root
become
jetstream / nocomp-root
jetstream /boot nocomp-root
the error messages complain about not being able to open "/dev/root".
Is there a mnemonic to indicate to amanda "backup the root filesyste"
aside from just the device file?
2)
Redhat 7.0 changes its fstab usage to use the labeling feature
of the ext2 filesystem.
example:
LABEL=/ / ext2 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
Amanda would chock on these lables until I redid the fstab files
to read:
/dev/hda6 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
Does amanda have the ability to interpret the "LABEL=" portion
of fstab then dig the information out of ext2fs? If not, is it
planned? I am ok with changing the fstab file, but it kind of
falls into my philosophy of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
