I get an error when I copy over my 2.4.1 configs to 2.4.2 and try to
run amcheck:
amcheck-server: could not get changer info: cannot open \
/opt/pkgs/amanda/etc/phg-weekly/changer.conf
I don't reference a `changer.conf' file in any amanda.conf file. I do
reference chg-zd-mtx, though. I was only going to be concerned about
this problem if people unanimously said to upgrade amanda due to my
forementioned problem.

I realize that, but I wasn't sure if amanda maybe called something
wrong in my version or there was a specific problem with ufsdump and
solaris... something quirky like that. I kinda thought I was going
to get a bunch of "that's an old bug..." type of replies.

I'm pretty sure it's ufsdump because my paper logs specify piping to
ufsrestore.
> Is any of this NFS mounted? Even automounted from itself?
Yes. The partition that's having the problem is nfs mounted, however
amanda is calling its daemon on the remote machine to back it up (ie,
not thru nfs). At least that's what I'm assuming is happening.
> What do you mean by "/export/data/mail (linked to /var/mail)"?
I just meant that /export/data/mail is symlinked to /var/mail, in case
that could be a problem. I'm specifying /export/data/mail as the
partition to back up, so I don't think it is.
I apologize for the ambiguity. I guess I wanted to see what kind of
response I got first.
Thanks for any help.
